West Ham United co-owner David Sullivan says that reports of a scuffle outside the London Stadium were 'sensationalised'.

West Ham United co-owner David Sullivan has claimed that reports of a scuffle at the London Stadium at the weekend were 'sensationalised'.

The businessman has described the incident, which resulted in three men getting arrested and bailed, as a 'routine football problem'.

The trouble spilled out during the Hammers' 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough on home turf.

In a statement via West Ham's official website, Sullivan said: "It makes me angry to read stories sensationalising the events outside London Stadium. A group of mindless thugs with no intention of watching the game came together outside the ground, and three arrests were made.

"I have watched all the videos and as far as I can see, any issues were routine football problems that were dealt with swiftly and safely. It is clear that the police were quick and professional in bringing any incidents under control, and although it is something that we must stamp out from football in general, the scenes were certainly not exclusive to West Ham United and London Stadium.

"The overwhelming majority of West Ham United and Middlesbrough supporters behaved absolutely impeccably, which is something that seems to get forgotten time and time again."

On the pitch, the Hammers have had a tough start to the season following five defeats, a draw and just one victory.
