Arsenal vs West Ham: Scuffles break out in the stands and objects thrown at end of Carabao Cup quarter-final clash

FIGHTS broke out in the stands with objects thrown at the end of Arsenal's 1-0 win against West Ham tonight.

Danny Welbeck scored the only goal of what was a dour game, but seemingly the fans in the stands wanted some more action.

The two sets of supporters were only separated by a line of stewards and objects were seen to be thrown as tensions escalated.

Welbeck celebrated a rare start with a goal to seal Arsenal a spot in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.

But it was a game that will not last too long in the memory of anyone attended, with just ONE shot on target in the whole game - the goal.

Both teams made the expected wholesale changes, but it was one of the more experienced of those on show who proved to be the matchwinner.

The pair had shared a goalless draw in their Premier League meeting at the London Stadium last week.

But this time out, with both sides fielding very different line-ups, it was Welbeck who made the difference to seal a 1-0 win.

The 27-year-old will not care how the goal came about as he got on the scoresheet for the first time since his double against Bournemouth on September 9.

It proved to be enough to book Arsene Wenger's side their first League Cup semi-final place in six years as West Ham offered very little in the way of goal-threat.
