An Australian football match had to be abandoned after fans invaded the pitch and a goalkeeper was hit in the face with a metal bin.
Video on social media appears to show Melbourne City keeper Tom Glover throwing one of the flares back into a stand of rival Melbourne Victory fans behind him. Video shows City players and subs running over to protect the keeper as the referee Alex King also makes a hasty retreat.
That's shocking - hope the poor guy is okay after this brutal attack!
Concussed? 🙄 Imagine if he'd been hit by a ball
Glover. What a name for a GK
Someone’s going to jail.
Typical Australia. No wonder we sent all of our criminals there.
Prison sentence for pitch invasion. It's getting dangerous now.
Goalkeeper threw flare into the fans
Bunny would have held it.
