Emiliano Buendia nodded the only goal of the game in the injury time of the first half. While celebrating at the corner flag, some fans threw objects at the players, including the until recently Everton player Digne. He and his teammate Matty Cash were hit by, among other things, a plastic bottle.
Both players were able to resume the game as usual, but Cash came back to the incident after the 0-1 win. “It was bizarre, suddenly I was hit on the head. It was not a pleasant experience, but luckily we got the three points. They are in our bag.”
It is not the first incident this season where supporters hit players with objects. Just last week, the Real Betis cup match against Sevilla FC was canceled in Spain after Sevilla player Joan Jordan was hit with a rod.

The match in the Premier League between Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers has been temporarily suspended by the arbitration in the final phase of the first half. A drone was spotted over the stadium in London. In that case, a match in English professional football must be stopped by regulation.
Referee Peter Bankes sent both teams to the locker room, awaiting further developments. According to a BBC reporter, it is the first time a game in the Premier League has been interrupted by a flying device.
After a break of more than fifteen minutes, the game was resumed. The score was still 0-0 at the end of the game.
