Aston Villa fan Mark Villers says he was struck by a chair flung by West Bromwich Albion fans during last night's FA Cup win.
Villers was watching Villa's 2-0 FA Cup win over their local rivals from the lower section of the North Stand when away supporters housed above began ripping out seats and throwing them down.
He told how he required treatment from Villa's club doctor, who needed to cut his hair and glue the grizzly wound on the top of his head closed.
"It was mental," Villers, 20, told the Mail on Sunday. "We could see them throwing down the chairs after we scored the second so we walked down to by the advertising boards. We didn't think they'd be able to reach.
"All of a sudden, everyone shouted, 'Duck' and stupidly I turned around. It literally hit me bang on the forehead, head on.
"It was a shock but I didn't think anything of it. I carried on cheering. Then I felt the blood pouring down my face. It was really bad. I've never bled that much. It was pouring out all over my clothes. It was a bad cut.
"The pain wasn't that bad, it was the shock of seeing blood come down my face. I knew it had hit me quite hard but I didn't think it would cut me. It must have been caught by the sharp bit.
"There were quite a lot of seats. After we scored the second goal things started flying down. To guess at the end it must have been 20 or 25. One landed on the pitch."
