UEFA hand ban to Anderlecht fans and club fine after crowd trouble during West Ham clash

Belgian club Anderlecht have confirmed that they have been handed sanctions by UEFA following their Europa Conference League defeat to West Ham United earlier this month.

On October 13, West Ham were 2-1 winners over the Brussels-based side at the London Stadium, with goals from Said Benrahma and Jarrod Bowen sealing victory and a place in the knockout rounds of the competition with two matches to spare.

However, the game was marred by crowd trouble in the away section of the stadium where Anderlecht supporters threw flares and missiles into home sections of the crowd. The incidents led to 13 arrests on the night, 12 of which towards Anderlecht fans, with four police officers injured and two hospitalised.
