Police investigate homophobic leaflet at West Ham

A homophobic leaflet distributed at West Ham's EFL Cup clash with Chelsea will form part of a police investigation into fan behaviour.

The Metropolitan Police will include a leaflet containing homophobic comments distributed at West Ham's EFL Cup game with Chelsea on Wednesday as part of their post-match investigation.

The London Stadium fixture was marred by clashes between supporters in the closing stages, with the police making seven arrests as a result.

However, a flyer aiming to incite homophobic chanting at Chelsea captain John Terry, which spread widely on social media, will also form part of an investigation into the scenes.
