Footage appears to show West Ham and Tottenham supporters brawling at the London Stadium

West Ham and Tottenham supporters violently clashed on the stadium concourse during their London derby on Sunday as Spurs fans managed to break through a barrier that separated the two groups.

Shocking video footage from Sunday's Premier League encounter at the London Stadium shows one Tottenham supporter managing to drift past four stewards guarding the doors and break down the barrier, with both sets of fighting when it was opened.

Stewards on either side of the door eventually managed to form their own barrier to do their best to keep the fans apart, but supporters on either side threw punches at their rival fans, while plastic cups of beer were also thrown inbetween the doorway.

The incident is understood to have taken place at half-time of Sunday's afternoon match at approximately 2.45pm.

After the first time Tottenham fans managed to break down the door, several more Spurs fans attempted to break through the door to fight the Hammers supporters on the other side.

Tottenham fans were heard singing 'No noise from the p**** boys' throughout the incident, while West Ham fans were chanting 'Irons. Irons' as they faced the prospect of taking on Spurs fans on Sunday afternoon.

West Ham ended up 1-0 winners on Sunday afternoon thanks to Michail Antonio's late winner, with the Hammers star sweeping home from a corner with 18 minutes to go.

The two clubs are fierce rivals in the Premier League, while Hammers and Spurs fans have a long history of violence during top-flight matches.

In November 2015, a 35-year-old West Ham supporter was left hospitalised after being stabbed in the stomach, hundreds of fans from either club had to be restrained by police on horseback before kick off at Tottenham's White Hart Lane ground.

According to a bystander at the time, a large contingent of West Ham supporters were being shepherded by police into the ground when a group of ‘half a dozen’ attempted to break away and punched a Tottenham fan walking by.

In November 2018, two Tottenham supporters sitting in West Ham's London Stadium home end were ejected from the home end were attacked as they were escorted out of the ground.

As they were walking down a flight of steps they were targets of verbal abuse before one supporter threw a drink in their direction. As they continued to walk, video footage shows punches being aimed at them before stewards finally managed to bundle them away from the stands.
