Tony Pulis slams 'idiotic' Aston Villa fans

West Brom boss Tony Pulis slams the Aston Villa fans involved in the premature pitch invasion in his side's 2-0 FA Cup defeat as "mindless idiots".

West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis has slammed the "disgraceful" Aston Villa fans involved in tonight's pitch invasion at Villa Park.

Second-half goals from Fabian Delph and Scott Sinclair saw the Villans edge out their local rivals and advance into the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

However, the victory was soured when hundreds of home fans stormed the field prior to the final whistle, with one supporter appearing to steal a corner flag.

"It's disgraceful. We don't want to see those scenes. They've beaten us and for that to happen, that's just mindless idiots," Pulis told BBC Sport.

"If you're Villa, you need to look at the stewards as they came over to our fans and there was nobody there."

Both sides ended the game with 10 men, with Claudio Yacob and Jack Grealish both dismissed for second bookings late on.
