Players from both teams joined in on the mayhem as the situation quickly descended into chaos.

Ashmore was the subject of racist abuse from opposition fans last season - with a 59-year-old Eastleigh supporter recently fined £650 and ordered to pay £600 compensation to the 28-year-old.

Ebbsfleet - who are unbeaten in their last six games - tweeted of the incident: "But there's a fracas in the crowd now.

"Referee trying to restore order with players standing by close in."

Before adding: "That now seems to have eased. Hopefully nothing further will come of that."

Fans were in total shock at what they witnessed, with one tweeting: "Never witnessed a scene like that, Ebbsfleet keeper has done an absolute Cantona, jumping the hoardings into the fans.

"If a fan had jumped on the pitch, they’d have been arrested. He can’t be all there, head gone!"

While another said: "Not the worst 0-0 I've been to, but things certainly livened up after the match when the Ebbsfleet keeper decided to jump into the home end and take on the Wood Army!"
