West Ham United are set to issue a lifetime ban to the fan who threw a coffee cup at Troy Deeney during the club’s 2-0 defeat to Watford on Saturday.
Deeney fired home a first-half penalty to give the Hornets the lead before celebrating in front of the home fans, enraging one supporter enough to throw a coffee cup towards him.
West Ham have now issued a statement which outlines their ‘zero tolerance approach’ to the situation.
The statement read: “The Club is aware of the incident and will be working to identify the offender.
“In line with our zero tolerance approach, anyone identified will have their details passed to the police and will face a lifetime ban from London Stadium. There is no place for this kind of behaviour at our stadium.”
An FA spokesperson also stated: “The referee Lee Mason has reported the incident and we will be looking into it.”
