West Ham United are to investigate reports of homophobic leaflets being handed out to fans at last night's League Cup match between West Ham and Chelsea.

Photos appeared on Twitter claiming to show sheets printed with song lyrics about Chelsea captain John Terry.

The match also saw crowd trouble inside the London Stadium - with seven fans being arrested.

A West Ham United spokesperson said: "West Ham United are completely and utterly committed to tackling all forms of discrimination in football.

"Working with the Metropolitan Police Service, the club will be investigating the alleged distribution of these flyers, and will take the strongest possible action against those responsible."
