West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan and his family were forced to leave their seats before the final whistle due to verbal abuse from the home supporters during the weekend’s game at Leicester City, according to Sky Sports.
Sullivan, his partner, and two sons were unable to watch the remainder of West Ham’s 2-2 draw at Leicester due to an increasingly fervent atmosphere and had to relocate and sit inside the King Power stadium.
The abuse allegedly began from a section of Leicester City fans as Aaron Cresswell lashed in a shot that put the Hammers 2-1 up in the 86th minute.
Tempers began to flare on the pitch as Jamie Vardy was sent off for a dive in the 56th minute, only for West Ham to capitalise on the extra man by scoring two late goals in quick succession, leading to flared tempers within the home support.
The game eventually finished 2-2 thanks to Leonardo Ulloa’s last-gasp penalty and Sullivan and his family were escorted to their cars by security after the final whistle.
