Two men have been charged after a pitch invasion broke out at St Mary's Stadium.

Hundreds of fans flooded the pitch in celebration after the home side defeated West Brom 3-1 on May 17.

Police have since confirmed two men have been charged in connection with the invasion and will be appearing in court soon.
