This clash was one of the ties of the round as it was the first Black Country derby since 2011 but it has now been overshadowed by these disgraceful scenes.

Fans are reportedly hurt inside the stadium as police continue to try and get the situation under control.

ITV commentator Sam Matterface said during the broadcast about the events: “Derby day passion is great, derby day intensity is great but this sort of overspill is not acceptable in any sense. It’s getting really nasty.”
