West Bromwich Albion's Chris Brunt Hit in Face by Coin Thrown by Own Fans

Warning: Video contains profanity.

Things turned ugly at the Madejski Stadium on Saturday following Reading's 3-1 win over West Bromwich Albion.

Baggies midfielder Chris Brunt was hit in the face by a coin, which appears to have been thrown by one of his own supporters in the away section as he went towards them to offer his shirt.

Understandably unhappy, Brunt headed towards the stands immediately, with one fan capturing it on his phone.

"If people come to football matches and think it is acceptable to throw coins at footballers or anyone else, it is disgusting," he said post-match, per BBC Sport.

And, the FA have subsequently confirmed they will investigate the incident.
