LONDON (AP) Chelsea says it will issue stadium bans if it can identify the supporters who threw coins at Manchester City players at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, as the FA Cup was marred by such incidents for the second day in a row.
Coins were thrown when David Faupala celebrated with City teammates in the corner of the pitch, near Chelsea fans, after scoring on his debut.
Chelsea's head of communications, Steve Atkins, says ''if we can identify those responsible, we will ban them from Stamford Bridge'' and that ''we will support any police prosecution.''

On Saturday, West Bromwich Albion midfielder Chris Brunt was struck in the face by a coin thrown by a supporter of his team after a 3-1 defeat by second tier Reading.
