Ghana coach Chris Hughton has been attacked by a fan at their team hotel.

The Black Stars suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to Cape Verde in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Journalist Saddick Adams is reporting Ghanaian fan attacked former Newcastle and Brighton manager Hughton.

The assault is said to have taken place at the team's hotel. The man was handed to the Ivorian Police.

After the defeat, Hughton responded: "If you're asking me what I say to the Ghanaian's is what I'll say to anybody...

"We are incredibly, hugely disappointed with the result. We came into the game with a game plan.

"We changed the way of playing, the system a bit so that we could start on the front foot.

"We thought the team that were put out was certainly a more offensive team. This was our intention.

"I think it rocked us the goal that we conceded but I thought we got back into the game.

"At that stage it looked like we could go on and win it. We are hugely, hugely disappointed with our result.

"And I know and this group of players also know how the Ghanaian people see this game, see this tournament and our expectations going into this one.

"It's a defeat we're hugely disappointed with."
