West Ham and Millwall fans clash outside ground on night of Carling Cup action...
"The Metropolitan Police described the scenes as "large scale trouble" as fights erupted outside the Boelyn Ground. Hundreds were reported to be involved in the trouble which left a man stabbed in nearby Priory Road."
Crowd trouble marred a busy night of Carling Cup action with fans invading the Upton Park pitch as West Ham and Millwall's second round tie went into extra time.
The Metropolitan Police described the scenes as "large scale trouble" as fights erupted outside the Boelyn Ground. Hundreds were reported to be involved in the violence which left a man stabbed in nearby Priory Road.
On the pitch, the draw drifted to [5.6] after Neil Harris put the Lions ahead but Junior Stanislas grabbed the Hammers equaliser with three minutes remaining.
The draw was matched at [4.2] as Leeds v Watford finished 1-1 at Elland Road and, less than a week after they defeated Manchester United, Steven Fletcher scored a late leveller for Burnley away to Hartlepool. The draw touched a high of [4.2].
Premier League new boys Wolves' stalemate with Swindon at the Molineux was matched at [6.0].
The biggest shock of the night came at Vale Park where League Two side Port Vale knocked out Championship club Sheffield Wednesday 2-0. Vale were backed at [5.6].
Elsewhere, top flight strugglers Blackburn, Hull and Portsmouth took time out from their relegation worries with comfortable victories over Gillingham, Southend and Hereford respectively.
The draw for the third round will be made on Saturday.
Meanwhile, in the night's Champions League qualifiers Atletico Madrid, Lyon, FC Zurich and Debrecen made it through to the Group Stages.
