Someone was really angry. Granit Xhaka couldn't help his team against West Ham United today, but he did get into it with the opposing fans.

Due to an injury, the former Leverkusen player was only on the bench during Sunderland's away defeat to West Ham. There, he got into a confrontation with a West Ham fan. The scene quickly spread online.

A fan filmed the scene in the stadium. 

The altercations escalated to the point where the referee even temporarily stopped the game. However, after a brief exchange with Hammers coach Nuno Espírito Santo, the match was able to continue.
