Aston Villa midfielder Delph BITTEN during pitch invasion

Fabian Delph has revealed that he was bitten during the pitch invasion that followed Aston Villa’s 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion on Saturday evening.

Second half goals from Delph and Scott Sinclair saw Tim Sherwood’s side progress to a semi-final place at Wembley, but their victory was marred by some ugly scenes.

The home fans at Villa Park decided to swarm the field prior to the final whistle and then, after, in an incident that was described as ‘scary’ by Baggies boss Tony Pulis.

Villa captain Delph has also discussed the incident, claiming he was bitten at one point.

“My armband got nicked, someone got my left boot, but I could appreciate the relief the fans are feeling after a result like that.

“It was dangerous. Someone tried to take my boot off. People tried to kiss me and were biting me. It was scary.”
