The FA has initiated an investigation into the violence that happened in West Ham’s 2-1 victory against Chelsea in the EFL Cup. The Police have confirmed seven arrests and has pledged to work tirelessly to bring justice to the people involved.
Metropolitan Police commander BJ Harrington said: “Although the vast majority of people left the stadium peacefully and were well behaved, there were a minority of people who attended the match that were clearly intent on being involved in confrontation and violence.
“Despite extensive work with both clubs and the London Stadium partners as well as a large and robust policing operation, there were unacceptable incidents inside and outside the stadium, before, during and after the game.
“We welcome the condemnation from partners and have already started a post match investigation. We have already made seven arrests and will work tirelessly to identify people involved and bring them to justice.”
