Arsenal and West Ham fans clashed in the stands and were brawling while their two teams were on the pitch in their Premier League clash on Saturday evening.

Allegedly, Gunners supporters were spotted inside one of the home stand, where their opposing fanbase should have been residing - kicking off the brawl.

Some fans could be seen escorted out of the area by London Stadium stewards after the Hammers faithful made their presence known.

Angry fans were fighting and had to be pulled away by their fellow matchgoers as sour scenes surrounded Arsenal's 5-2 victory, with all seven goals scored in the first half.

The Gunners put up four without reply inside 36 minutes, prompting many home supporters to leave the stadium early and decide against watching the remainder of the match.

They missed two home goals in quick succession, though those caught up in the unsavoury scenes will have missed Aaron Wan-Bissaka's goal as they instead were focused on Arsenal fans inside their stand.
