Police officers were called to the south London station around 11.30pm BST on Sunday after two males were found seriously injured in a street nearby.
A 24-year-old man is in a critical condition, while a 25-year-old male is in a serious condition, British Transport Police said. Two men have been arrested in relation to the incident.
Mobile Police Chief Lawrence Battiste told local media that two individuals were detained in connection with the attack. He said that 10 people were injured in total, but four of the injuries were not gunshot wounds. The victims ranged in age from 15 to 18 years old. Their conditions were not immediately clear.
Witnesses say there was a fight in the stands several minutes before the end of the game.

According to the Daily Beast:
[T]he barrage of recent incidents on social media have left many in the organization fatigued. Multiple staffers expressed ambivalence and frustration about the onslaught of outside interest in paper's internal affairs. When asked about the mood inside the newsroom following Stephens' recent blunder, one staffer quipped: "I'm so sick of talking about this shit."
Earlier this year, billionaire Richard Branson staged a "Live Aid"-stye concert in Colombia near the Venezuela border with the purported goal of helping the Venezuelan people. In reality the stunt was nothing other than a ploy to advance the entirely false narratives that President Maduro was blockading bridges and turning away all foreign aid, and the funds raised ended up being embezzled by the Trump-backed regime change opposition group led by US puppet Juan Guaido. The British mass media, however, went absolutely bananas over the story. Each word in this sentence is hyperlinked to a different story about the concert from mass media outlets in the UK alone. And that was a concert on the other side of the planet, while the Assange event is happening right in London, in front of the office of a prominent British official, featuring one of the greatest British rock musicians of all time.
Comment: It will be interesting to see if Waters' concert goes ahead as planned. The oppressors don't like loud public displays exposing their hypocrisy.

Residents of Bani Walid, a small desert town which remained loyal to Gaddafi even after his gruesome execution as a result of the 2011 NATO-led intervention, swarmed the streets on Sunday to mark the anniversary of the 1969 revolution that brought down the court of King Idris, abolishing the Libyan monarchy.
Many who descended on Bani Walid waved green flags, Libya's national flag under Gaddafi, and carried posters with the images of Gaddafi and his second son, Saif al-Islam. Cars honked their horns in solidarity as they drove past the jubilant demonstrators, according to footage from RT's video agency, Ruptly.
"America's public schooling system may be in trouble, but its top universities are anything but," said a story by Stacker, which compared the multi-billion endowments of 50 American colleges to the "total wealth" of world nations as estimated by Credit Suisse. The list saw five universities - including Princeton, Stanford, Yale, and the University of Texas System - beat over half of world's 195 economies. Topping the list with its massive $38.3 billion endowment came Harvard.
Perhaps more than even the other Ivy League colleges, Harvard sells more than just a degree. A Harvard education provides entrée into exclusive circles populated by the very wealthy and very influential, and the school puts a lot of effort into nurturing this reputation. The quality of a Harvard education has somewhat dipped over the past decade, now occupying the sixth spot according to The Times Higher Education World University Rankings, but the same firm has invariably ranked the institution's reputation as pristine, scoring a perfect 100 on both research and teaching.
"There are around 200 mass graves containing bodies of people killed by the ISIL (also known as Islamic State, ISIS or Daesh) terrorist group in different parts of Iraq after the terrorists occupied Western Iraq in 2014," member of Iraq's High Commissioner of Human Rights Ali al-Bayati told al-Qud al-Arabi on Saturday.He noted that Iraq's mass graves contain bodies of over 12,000 victims killed by ISIS. Al-Bayati also noted that over 7,000 people had been abducted by the ISIS and half of them have not returned home yet, adding:
"According to the evidence we have obtained the kidnapped children and women have been trafficked to some Persian Gulf littoral states and also some Western, mostly European states."
