Sunderland striker Victor Anichebe was at the centre of a storm on Saturday afternoon after he was accused of hitting a young West Ham supporter with a bottle.
The Sunderland #21, who was an unusued sub as his team were beaten 1-0 by West Ham at the weekend became embroiled in a row with a section of Hammers fans immediately after the game finished.Anichebe, 28, was then accused of throwing a bottle that has been hurled from the crowd back at West Ham fans - where it is reported to have hit a young supporter, who hadn't been previously involved in the fracas.
That resulted in further ugly scenes as yet more Hammers fans attempted to remonstrate with the Nigerian forward, who had to be dragged away from the scene by fellow players and Sunderland staff members.
Naturally furious, the boy's father later reported the incident to Police. It is unknown whether Anichebe has been spoken to since
