During the match of the English "Championship" league, a major scandal erupted.
During the Birmingham derby on Sunday, a fan attacked the "Aston Villa" defender Jack Grealish.
Around the 9th minute of the match, a fan ran onto the field and punched the athlete in the neck, sparking chaos on the field - team mates tried to settle the hooligan.
Eventually, the man was caught by security and taken into custody.
The "Birmingham" team faces severe sanctions - from fines to playing matches in an empty stadium.
J. Grealish did not suffer serious injuries and, to make matters worse, became the hero of the match when he scored the decisive goal for the team in the 67th minute (1:0).
