FA and police investigate after West Brom's Chris Brunt 'hit by coin'

The Football Association is investigating the incident in which West Brom's Chris Brunt said he was hit by a coin thrown by Albion fans following their 3-1 defeat at Reading, while police are treating it as an assault.

The Northern Ireland international had gone over to applaud the visiting fans following their FA Cup fifth-round exit, but went down clutching his face as he approached the away end.
