West Ham United have identified two supporters alleged to have attacked commentators from a German radio station during the first half of last night's Europa League semi-final at London Stadium.
It was claimed that Philipp Hofmeister and Tim Brockmeier were attacked while on air not long after Michail Antonio equalised for the hosts in a game that they ended up losing 2-1. Hofmeister, who works for the radio station Hessischer Rundfunk, said on Twitter: "We are doing okay. Best wishes to all West Ham supporters who love football and respect their opponents."
The pair were moved to a different area of the media tribune for the second half of the game and continued broadcasting. West Ham released a statement soon after the game, saying that the were working to identify the offenders and would give an indefinite ban to anyone identified."
