Two hundred people face banning orders after violence during West Ham's game against Chelsea

Two hundred people face football banning orders following the violence at the former Olympic Stadium on Wednesday night, West Ham and the London Stadium have announced.

Police made six arrests after skirmishes broke out towards the end of the stadium's first London derby, when West Ham beat Chelsea 2-1 in the EFL Cup fourth round.

Police and stewards battled to maintain segregation behind the goal being defended by West Ham as coins, seats and other objects appeared to be thrown between rival supporters.
