Footage of the disgraceful scenes to have unfolded on the back of the meeting between West Ham United and AZ Alkmaar on Thursday have come to the fore online.

And, when all was said and done at the AFAS Stadion, march on to a historic victory is precisely what the evening’s visitors managed.

As alluded to above, though, post-match, West Ham’s win was marred by altogether unsavoury scenes.
Players from both sides, in turn, were forced to intervene, with footage of the AFAS Stadion chaos showcased from several viewpoints below:
Increíble: los jugadores del West Ham peleando con pseudo aficionados del AZ Alkmaar, quienes fueron a atacar a sus familias y amigos que estaban en la grada.
Seguro habrá una fuerte sanción para el club neerlandés.
