Riot police were forced to step in as Chelsea and West Ham supporters clashed at the London Stadium tonight - with bottles, seats and coins used as missiles.
Tensions boiled over at the end of the EFL Cup tie at the London Stadium, as supporters attempted to burst through the segregation line and stewards forlornly sought to keep them apart.
As missiles flew from one set of fans to another, pictures emerged of bottles and seats being thrown by West Ham and Chelsea fans, injuring a number of people.
A working police officer explained to Sportsmail: ‘A large group of Chelsea fans came all together and they had to be held back at the bottom of the stairs as West Ham supporters were entering just a couple of hundred yards along the way, so they also had to be restrained.
