West Ham legend Tony Gale says the London Stadium has been a ‘nightmare’ for club, who MUST secure a stronger police presence at games if their move to the former Olympic venue is to be a long-term success.

The Hammers claimed a brilliant 2-1 victory over Chelsea in their EFL Cup London derby on Wednesday night, but the big win was tarnished by clashes between fans.

Police made seven arrests as chairs ripped from the stands, coins and bottles were hurled between the sets of supporters, with both West Ham and Chelsea confirming they will hand out lifetime bans to those found to be involved.
