Wolves captain Mario Lemina sparked a post-match brawl after his side suffered a 2-1 defeat to West Ham on Monday night.
The Hammers took all three points after Jarrod Bowen and Tomas Soucek struck on the night, with Matt Doherty grabbing a goal that failed to spark the visitors into life.
After the final whistle, tempers boiled over as Lemina let out his frustrations on West Ham star Bowen by throwing him to the ground during the post-match handshakes.
Bowen's teammates immediately rushed to his side and confronted the Wolves captain, sparking an on-pitch scuffle between the sides for several minutes.
Speaking on Sky Sports, former West Ham striker Jermain Defoe said: 'Obviously you understand his [Lemina's] frustrations. They're losing the game.
'But to be honest, they didn't do enough, Wolves. I think you've just got to get off the pitch. Clap the fans, do whatever you've got to do and get off the pitch. Get down the tunnel'.
