Villa ace Delph shocked by pitch invasion: People were BITING me!

Aston Villa captain Fabian Delph was shocked by the pitch invasion at the end of their FA Cup win over West Bromwich Albion. Villa are likely to face a Football Association investigation after two pitch invasions at the end of their 2-0 victory over West Brom.

"Very, very scary," he told the BBC.

"My armband got nicked, someone got my left boot, but I could appreciate the relief the fans are feeling after a result like that.

"It was dangerous. Someone tried to take my boot off. People tried to kiss me and were biting me. It was scary."
