The mural at Church Street was cleared up this morning by Brighton and Hove City Council.

A council spokesperson said: "We’re aware that emotions may be running high in some quarters with the big game tonight, and we felt restoring the mural might help ease any tensions."

The match kicks off at 7.45pm at the Amex tonight (November 28).
