"We have been in touch with the club and the relevant authorities and there will be more conversations on Monday," a spokesman said on Sunday.

West Ham, playing only their second league game at the former Olympic Stadium, now known as the London Stadium, issued a statement saying they would ban for life anyone involved in the trouble.

They lost the match 4-2 after leading 2-0.
