West Ham fans 'ATTACK' AZ Alkmaar players 'friends and families' as they are left terrified in London Stadium incident

West Ham fans have been accused of ATTACKING the friends and families of AZ Alkmaar players during the Premier League side’s 2-1 Euro win over the Dutch side at the London Stadium, according to reports in Holland.

David Moyes watched his side come from behind to beat the Dutch outfit 2-1 in the first leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final. And the Telegraaf claim Hammers supporters attacked some of the official members of the visitors party once they realised they were in the home section.

AZ general manager Robert Eenhoorn was one who said his wife and family members were Amon those attacked, along with the partner and two children of head coach Pascal Jansen. The report states those involved were “frightened and shocked” by the incident.

Eenhoorn said they were taken to safety after the terrifying incident, saying: “They were then taken to another place, high in the stadium. But there were about the most dangerous supporters of West Ham. As a result, I hardly got anything from the race, I was only concerned with the safety of our people.”

Jansen said: “He (Eenhoorn) reassured me, because my children and girlfriend were involved in the incident. I just spoke to them, but everything is fine now. There was some consternation after our goal. They were shocked, but they are now safe and in good condition on the bus.”
