London - The Football Association has stated a probe into the pitch invasions that marred Aston Villa's FA Cup quarter-final victory over West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.
Play was halted by a pitch invasion by celebrating Villa fans in the closing minutes of their team's 2-0 win over their local rivals at Villa Park.
Hundreds of Villa supporters then streamed onto the pitch in an even larger pitch invasion at the final whistle and seats were thrown from the end housing West Brom's fans.
