Chaos ensued while the match was in progress
In a video circulating online, a number of individuals could be seen throwing punches and clinching while action unfolded on the pitch.
At one point a man was even wrestled to the ground, falling two rows in the process.
Four stewards could be seen trying to take control of the scene.
Bizarrely, Peterborough scored during the ruckus, with some surrounding fans seemingly torn between celebrating the goal and watching the drama unfolding in the stands.
The Metropolitan Police have launched an investigation into the incident and have appealed for witnessed to come forward.
A statement read: “Police were notified of a fight at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, 7 April, during the EFL Trophy Final between Peterborough and Wycombe.
“Officers are also aware of social media footage.
“There were no injuries reported.
“Enquiries are ongoing and any witnesses are asked to call 101 quoting CAD 1307/7APR.
“There have been no arrests.”
Peterborough’s first goal was scored by captain Harrison Burrows in the 85th minute.
Wycombe equalised just four minutes later before Burrows, who spoke exclusively to SunSport ahead of the game, bagged his side’s winner in stoppage time.
Sir Alex Ferguson was in attendance, with his son Darren once again in the Peterborough hotseat.
Fergie Jr has been Posh boss four times, and most recently returned in January last year.
Peterborough are chasing promotion to the Championship and have six games remaining in League One.
They currently sit in fourth place, eight points off the automatic promotion spots with two games in hand.
