West Bromwich Albion fan 'suffers heart attack during win over Chelsea'

A West Bromwich Albion supporter is reportedly recovering in hospital after suffering a heart attack during his side's shock win over 10-man Chelsea on Monday night.

Tony Pulis's side managed to seal a 3-0 triumph at The Hawthorns, thanks to goals from Saido Berahino and Chris Brunt.

According to the Daily Star, the individual was taken to Sandwell Hospital after stewards called the emergency services once the supporter had collapsed in the Upper East Stand just after Brunt sealed the winner.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman is quoted as saying: "The man was shocked no fewer than seven times before being taken on blue lights to Sandwell Hospital.

"He arrived just 20 minutes after his collapse and was conscious and breathing for himself. There is no doubt that the quick actions of stewards and ambulance staff has given the fan the best possible chance of survival."

The cardiac arrest occurred around the 60th-minute mark.
