When Mark Noble absolutely lost it with a West Ham pitch invader

West Ham are flying high at the moment.

The Hammers are thriving in the Premier League and currently occupy sixth place.

While it will be an uphill task, they still have an outside chance of finishing in the top four.

David Moyes’ side are also having a terrific European campaign. They saw off Lyon 3-0 in France on Thursday evening to progress to the semi-finals of the Europa League.

With security no where to be seen, Noble lost his head and threw the supporter to the ground.

He had to be restrained by Joe Hart, who rushed out of his goal to try and calm Noble down.
