Black Country derby FA Cup clash is SUSPENDED due to crowd trouble as West Brom and Wolves fan clash in the stands

West Bromwich Albion's Black Country derby against Wolves was suspended with nearly 10 minutes remaining amid appalling and upsetting scenes at The Hawthorns.

A heavy punishment looks inevitable for Albion amid scenes that brought shame on the game.

Shortly after Matheus Cunha had put Wolves 2-0 up, scuffles broke out in the corner of the Birmingham Road End as supporters entered the pitch.

About 30 police and a similar number of stewards tried to calm the situation but despite four announcements for fans to leave the field, the game was not restarted, 15 minutes after Cunha’s goal.
