News about Erik Pieters

A middle-aged pitch invader with a handbag was led off the pitch by a steward amid gruesome scenes as West Bromwich Albion played Wolverhampton Wanderers. At The Hawthorns, the woman threw the ball at the guy, who took her off by the arm as she collapsed over and had to be picked up again. The audience could have been heard cheering before being led away on a turbulent afternoon that saw violence in the stands begin when Wolves away supporters bought tickets in West Brom home towns before being seen celebrating their team's second victory. After the drama erupted in the stands and supporters spilled onto the field, play in the Black Country FA Cup derby at The Hawthorns was postponed for more than half an hour. Following the second-half chaos yesterday, West Midlands Police said six arrests were made, and one individual was admitted to hospital with head injury.

The Baggies lost 1-0 at Coventry, with Viktor Gyokeres' stoppage-time penalty putting an end to West Brom's five-match winning streak. Carlos Coberan's men were pushed from the foot of the Championship to within touching distance of the top half during the run, which included four clean sheets. However, Gyokeres twisted and turned his way into the box and was taken down by Erik Pieters in a game destined for a goalless draw despite numerous chances for either team or not, and was brought down by Erik Pieters.
