Two men given football banning orders

Two men have been given football banning orders after crowd trouble at West Ham's win over Chelsea in October.

Riot police were deployed when plastic bottles, seats and coins were thrown at the EFL Cup tie at the London Stadium.

Chelsea fan Michael Parker, 51, and West Ham fan Nicholas Greenway, 27, got five and three-year bans respectively.

Parker, of Eversleigh Road, Battersea, was charged with throwing a missile and Greenway, of Alexandra Road, Mitcham, was accused of threatening behaviour.

Metropolitan Police commander BJ Harrington said: "The orders will prevent them from causing more trouble.
