FA Cup local derby suspended by fan disorder

Soccer

The FA Cup match between West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers at The Hawthorns on Sunday was suspended after supporters entered the pitch following disorder in the stands.

Wolves scored in the 78th minute when Mateus Cunha put the visitors from the Premier League up 2-0, but before the game could kick off again, police had to intervene at both ends of the ground as violent scenes broke out in the stands.

A message on the screens inside the ground read: “Please return to your seats. Entering the field of play is a criminal offence.”

Wolves defender Craig Dawson attempted to calm supporters before the players and staff from both teams went down the tunnel as police attempted to resolve the situation.

West Brom defender Kyle Bartley was seen on the broadcast summoning his family down from the stands in question as the players left the field.
