West Ham's Europa Conference League semi-final win over AZ Alkmaar descended into utter carnage last night when several players dove into the stands to protect their families from thuggish Dutch supporters.
A horde of violent Alkmaar fans, clad in all-black and hooded to hide their identities, forced their way into the away stands to trade blows with West Ham supporters at the final whistle.
The scrap quickly spiralled out of control as dozens of hooded hooligans flooded into the section holding the family and friends of West Ham's victorious players.
Without hesitation, West Ham's Michail Antonio and Flynn Downes leapt over the hoardings and made a beeline for the stands, closely followed by team-mates Lucas Paqueta and Said Benrahma.
