West Brom players feared for their safety during pitch invasion

West Bromwich Albion players feared for their safety at the end of their FA Cup defeat to Aston Villa.

Villa fans invaded the pitch before ad after the final whistle.

Albion winger Callum McManaman was visibly shaken and goalkeeper Boaz Myhill reacted angrily at fans trying to film him by snatching one phone and flinging it to the ground, says the Mail on Sunday.

It took stewards more than 20 minutes to march the fans off.

West Brom fans also ripped out several seats and confronted Villa fans when Scott Sinclair scored a second.
