Wolves Fan Snuck into the Stand at the Hawthorns after He Had Brazenly Chanted 'F Off West Brom'
- 3 months ago
A Wolves fan who entered one of the home sections at the Hawthorns and chanted 'F word West Brom, go Wolves' was mobbed and punched minutes later.
The man, who was joined by friends and posted the video on Snapchat, had to flee while being attacked by West Brom fans.
The FA Cup derby clash between West Brom and Wolves was suspended for more than 30 minutes on Sunday following 'inexcusable' violence in the crowd and six people have been arrested.
Wolves won 2-0 in a match marred by ugly scenes as fans stormed the pitch, 'missiles' were thrown, and 'distressed' players carried their children out of the stands at The Hawthorns.
The incident with this fan escaping his assailants in the 80th minute is just one of many from a dark day for English football.
Home fans even spat at one man as he was led away off the pitch with blood pouring from his head.
Baggies defender Kyle Bartley was pictured rushing into the stands to remove his daughter before being substituted to look after his family.
There was tension between supporters throughout the derby but it exploded soon after Cunha put Wolves 2-0 up in the 78th minute as West Brom supporters thought they had seen their rival fans celebrating in the home section.
This led to fans charging the area they believed Wolves fans occupied before police and stewards intervened.
A 16-year-old was also arrested on suspicion of carrying a weapon before the match, with police now reviewing body-camera footage to identify more supporters who were involved.
During the violence, the players appeared to put their rivalry aside as a West Brom fan has thanked two rival Wolves stars for checking on his son's wellbeing.
Craig Dawson was booed during the match, having made the move to Wolves from West Ham after previously playing for the Baggies - but two home fans held no grudges towards the defender after his classy gesture during the conflict.
Taking to X, Liam Dunn posted a picture with his son as he wrote: 'Rivalry aside, despite getting trampled over and pushed out the way in our seats earlier amongst the madness, just wanna say thank you to Craig Dawson and [Matheus] Cunha for asking if he was okay and unhurt!'
