West Ham declares ‘EMERGENCY’ after 200 angry fans mob director’s box after 3-0 loss

Fans invaded the pitch at the London Stadium clashing with players and security, while a group of 200 others surrounded the director’s box.

During the game, joint owners David Gold and David Sullivan, whose decision to uproot the club from its Upton Park ground to the former Olympic Stadium is behind the anger, are understood to have left their seats for their own safety.

Met Police officials also confirmed they are investigating two allegations of assault following the chaos.

In a statement, the club said: "West Ham United have immediately launched a full and thorough investigation into the incidents which marred the second half of today's match and are committed to taking decisive and appropriate action.

"An emergency meeting has been called with all London Stadium stakeholders. There will be no further comment at this time."
