The FA Cup match between West Brom and Wolves was briefly halted due to the occurrence of fan disturbances.

Trouble erupted between fans of West Bromwich Albion and the police, resulting in the suspension of the Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round match against Wolverhampton Wanderers at The Hawthorns on January 28, 2024.

The local derby clash between West Brom and Wolves was marred by fan violence towards the end of the game. The chaos unfolded when Matheus Cunha scored the second goal for Wolves in the 78th minute, adding to Pedro Neto’s earlier strike in the first half. This turn of events ignited tensions among the supporters, leading to the throwing of projectiles and the outbreak of fights within the stands.

The situation escalated to such an extent that the game could not be immediately resumed. In the 82nd minute, the players were escorted off the field as the authorities intervened to restore order. The players were forced to wait in the changing rooms while the police worked to diffuse the situation.

After a delay of over 30 minutes, the game finally recommenced shortly after 14:00 UK time. The resumption of play brought relief to both teams and their supporters, who had been left in suspense due to the unfortunate turn of events.
