Police confirm Stamford Bridge arrests

Police have revealed that two men were arrested for alleged racially aggravated offences during yesterday's London derby between Chelsea and West Ham United at Stamford Bridge.

While few details have been released, it has been said that the accused pair were sat among the away support at the West London ground.

The news has followed confirmation from the Metropolitan Police that they had launched an investigation after coins were thrown by West Ham fans in the direction of substitute John Terry and Frank Lampard as the duo celebrated Chelsea's first goal.

The match ended in a 2-0 victory for the home side.
