2011: Hero to zero for Tamas Priskin. The Ipswich striker wins a penalty, but his spot-kick is saved by Peterborough keeper Joe Lewis and it's still 1-0 to the Tractor Boys. BBC 5 live are reporting that there has been major crowd violence outside Upton Park. More when I hear it.

A man has been stabbed in the chest during violence involving "hundreds" of fans outside West Ham's Upton Park stadium during a game with Millwall.

 

Fights broke out at 1915 BST and were still raging more than an hour later. Police are assessing a man stabbed in nearby Priory Road at about 2025 BST.

 

A fan told the BBC it was the worst hooliganism he had seen in 30 years.

 

A Met spokesman said: "It looks like there has been some planned trouble from fans."

 

He added: "Hundreds of fans are estimated to be involved."

 

One pub reportedly had its windows broken by bricks.

 

Two arrests have been confirmed, for affray and breaching a control order.

 

'Bottles and bricks'

 

British Transport Police said they heard reports of minor overcrowding at Upton Park Tube station.

 

The BBC's Ben Jacobs, who is at the stadium, said: "The trouble broke out outside the Tube station about 600 yards from the ground.

 

"There were 500 to 1,000 riot police and Millwall fans managed to break through the divide.

 

"Bottles were thrown and bricks were as well."

 

He added: "There has been a bit of trouble inside the ground.

 

"There was a penalty shout and fans started gesturing and throwing small objects."
