While West Ham were producing a rousing comeback on the pitch against Tottenham, last night, coming from 2-0 down to beat Spurs 3-2 in the fourth round of the League Cup, one supporter was pissing off, and on, Hammers fans in the stands.

Hooliganism is, fortunately, largely a thing of the past in English soccer. Games are safe to attend, and while matchday atmospheres can get heated, much of the banter is cordially.

But if you thought that meant fans are above stupidity and vile behavior … well, think again.

Tottenham spokesman told : ‘This behaviour is completely unacceptable and we are currently investigating and working to identify the individual responsible.’

On seeing the footage many fans reacted and tweeted : I’m a Spurs fan and I’m ashamed of this guy. I hope whoever it hit finds him!’

Other person also shared the same sentiments as he tweeted : ‘Hope that Spurs fan who thought throwing a cup of his piss at people last night is banned for life. Don’t need scum fans like that.’

Eight people have since been arrested following last night’s match, the Met Police said.
