West Brom duo filmed allegedly clashing with Villa fans

Two West Bromwich Albion players have been filmed allegedly clashing with Aston Villa fans during Saturday's pitch invasion.

The Daily Mail says Villa face a major FA inquiry, a substantial fine and the threat of a ground closure after players looked to have been assaulted as the FA Cup quarter-final at Villa Park descended into chaos with an unrestrained pitch invasion joined by thousands of Villa fans.

Scorer Fabian Delph claimed he was bitten, while Boaz Myhill, Craig Dawson, James Morrison and Callum McManaman all appeared to be barged aggressively - and the new footage shows the latter two in altercations with the on-rushing fans.

The Instagram clip shows fans running on to the pitch, with Morrison seeming to stick his leg out to trip once, while McManaman looks to barge into others.
