Video: Footage shows West Brom players tripping Aston Villa fans during pitch invasion

Pride comes before a fall

West Brom duo James Morrison and Callum McManaman didn’t take too kindly to the Aston Villa fans storming the pitch during their recent FA Cup win.

After a dismal season, Aston Villa fans have had little cause for celebration of alte. However when they reached the dizzying heights of the FA Cup semi-finals, the supporters lost their minds completely.

A mob of Villa fans flooded the pitch after defeating world football behemoths West Brom which Morison and McManaman did not enjoy at all.

A comical video has since emerged of the West Brom pair tripping up Aston Villa fans as they ran manically around the pitch. Morrison can be seen sticking his boot out in front of a bounding Villa fan, who takes out another fan on his way to the floor in a pretty amusing fashion.

The other West Brom player, McManaman, seemed a little more annoyed than his club-mate. He was seen lightly shoving a couple of fans.
