Jake Livermore was escorted down the tunnel at the London Stadium after an apparent spat with West Ham fans.

The England midfielder was replaced by Hal Robson-Kanu in the second half of West Brom's away clash against the Hammers.

Eye witnesses say Livermore was involved in a fracas with the home support, with some suggesting he had even taken a swing at one supporter.

Stewards reportedly surrounded the dugouts in the aftermath of the incident.

Video footage later emerged of Livermore being taken down the tunnel and Baggies coach John Carver remonstrating with stewards.

Boss Alan Pardew said: “The only thing I know is that I saw Jake in the crowd which disturbed me a bit. He wouldn’t have done that unless he was provoked severely. I’ll talk to him and we’ll go from there.”

James McClean had given the Baggies the lead in the game but Andy Carroll's double sealed the points for West Ham.

The result extends West Brom's winless run and leaves them 19th in the Premier League, four points off safety and only kept off the bottom by goal difference.

Livermore signed for the Baggies in the summer of 2017.

He tested positive for cocaine in April 2015 and was suspended for the rest of the season. It was later revealed Livermore had taken the substance to help cope with the grief caused byt he death of his newborn child.
