LONDON: West Ham co-owner David Sullivan was hit by a coin amid ugly protests as angry fans ran riot during Saturday’s 3-0 defeat to Burnley at the London Stadium. “I think a coin did hit David Sullivan, his glasses,” Brooking told BBC 5 Live. Saturday’s events are being investigated by the Football Association and the Premier League as several West Ham supporters also invaded the pitch. “The actual level of aggression was something I couldn’t believe West Ham fans would get involved with,” he added. “A lot of the stewards who are on duty on matchdays are not West Ham people - they’re actually stadium people and sometimes until they get a job there haven’t had any experience dealing with football crowds.
