West Brom bear Brunt of fan rage

Reading 3 West Brom 1: Chris Brunt insists he could have been blinded after being hit by a coin thrown from West Brom’s own fans.

The Northern Ireland international was hit under his left eye by a coin thrown from the visiting section as he went to hand his shirt over to a Baggies supporter following their 3-1 FA Cup defeat at Reading on Saturday.

The police are treating the incident as assault with the FA also investigating while Albion will issue a lifetime ban to anyone found guilty.
