West Brom friendly descends into chaos as star trades punches with Mallorca ace in fierce brawl
FANS hoping for a little more aggression from West Brom following last season's play-off heartbreak got exactly what they wanted in the Baggies' pre-season friendly against Mallorca.The heated pair exchanged some choice words before pushing their heads together as Costa pushed Molumby's neck away in retaliation.
John Swift was the first Baggies star to intervene, and could be seen reaching over the duo, before the referee and linesmen got involved. The incident came in the 40th minute with the score goalless at West Brom's Walsall training ground in the West Midlands. Both sides agreed to end the first half two minutes early to allow tempers to cool and neither player was sent-off.A second said: "There's nothing friendly about this preseason game between West Brom and Mallorca."
While another added: "Wow. I can’t remember the last time I saw actual closed fists thrown on a football pitch."RASH'S CAR WOE
