The BBC's coverage of the FA Cup tie between Aston Villa and Tottenham was interrupted at half-time as a fan banged on the window of the punditry box and swore at the pundits.

A dominant Villa went into the half-time break with a 1-0 lead following a first minute goal from Jacob Ramsey, with Spurs goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky at fault.

But as BBC pundits Dion Dublin, Jermain Defoe and Joe Hart gave their thoughts on the first half, someone in the stands seemingly didn't want to hear what they had to say as loud bangs were heard on the TV coverage.

Hart was in the middle of speaking when the bangs were heard, with Dublin and Defoe both looking concerned as they peered behind host Mark Chapman to see where the noise was coming from.

As well as the banging, a shout of "w****r" could also be heard, with Chapman and Dublin seeing the funny side as the four men battled through their half-time discussion.

"They're angry about that first half behind us," said Chapman, as he asked Dublin to give his take on Ramsey's goal.

"I'll take him outside in a minute!" Dublin joked, in reference to the noisy fan, to which Chapman replied: "If you do that, I'll be just behind you, alright?".
