Aston Villa's win over West Bromwich Albion in a heated FA Cup quarterfinal was marred by crowd trouble, with seats thrown by visiting fans and home supporters invading the field during and after the game.
Villa beat its Midlands rival in a 2-0 victory thanks to second-half goals by Fabian Delph and Scott Sinclair. Each side had a player sent off in the closing minutes.
There were worrying scenes toward the end of the derby, as West Brom fans threw seats into the section of the crowd below them containing Villa supporters.
Some Villa supporters jumped over the hoardings and ran onto the pitch during stoppage time in premature celebration, before several hundred fans invaded the field of play as the final whistle sounded.
Some Villa players were mobbed by supporters celebrating the win for the club, while other players from both teams scrambled to get off the field.
Delph said his captain's armband and left boot were removed, and that some fans "tried to kiss me and were biting me... it was scary".
West Brom manager Tony Pulis said. "It's disgraceful. We don't want to see those scenes. They've beaten us, and for that to happen, that's just mindless idiots."
He criticised the stewarding at Villa Park and felt the players' safety was in jeopardy, but confirmed his squad were fine.
"It puts players at danger and you don't want to see that. We were seeing that in the 1970s and 1980s, we don't want to go back to that," Pulis said.
The Football Association is set to investigate and Villa have said sorry for the problems.
"We are very disappointed that what should have been a very memorable and proud moment for our fans was marred by the actions of those who could not control themselves," a statement from Villa read.
"They have let both themselves and their club down."
