FA to investigate cup violence
(October 27 2016)
The Football Association has launched an investigation into the violence which marred West Ham's EFL Cup derby win over Chelsea at the London Stadium on Wednesday night.
Police made seven arrests after skirmishes broke out towards the end of the Hammers' impressive 2-1 fourth-round win as police and stewards battled to maintain segregation behind the goal being defended by West Ham.
Coins, seats and other objects appeared to be thrown between rival supporters, with the Hammers and Chelsea condemning the unsavoury scenes which are now under investigation by the FA.
The Metropolitan Police announced seven arrests had been made.
Antisocial behaviour legislation was utilised prior to the match to order 30 people to disperse.
