Bartley forced to ferry away kids during fans fight at West Brom

West Bromwich Albion defender Kyle Bartley was forced to pull away two of his kids from a brawl at an FA Cup game this weekend.

Bartley and his teammates were involved in a tough 2-0 loss to Premier League side Wolves.

West Brom, who are in the Championship, saw the game delayed in the 78th minute due to crowd trouble.

West Brom captain Jed Wallace said post-game to ITV: "You focus on the game and then it's kicking off. A lot of the players were distressed because that's where their families sit.

“They were worried about their children, that's why you could see some of them running over."

"No-one wants to see that in football. They're two huge clubs with passionate supporters. You hope it keeps a lid on it at times. The game was played in a good spirit on the pitch. You fly into tackles and shake hands after."
