The Football Association (FA) is investigating crowd trouble that led to a 38-minute suspension in the FA Cup match between West Brom and Wolves. The disturbance described as “completely unacceptable,” erupted after Wolves took a 2-0 lead. Two arrests were made and a man suffered head injuries. The FA condemned the behavior emphasizing safety and security.

West Brom expressed strong condemnation pledging to cooperate with investigations and impose club bans on individuals involved. The game resumed after order was restored, with Wolves securing a place in the fifth round. The FA will take appropriate action following its investigation.
