Two teenagers have been arrested after misogynistic chanting was aimed at a female referee.

West Midlands Police said it happened during Birmingham City's home game against Sheffield Wednesday at St Andrew's on Saturday, which Blues won 2-1.

Two boys aged 17 were taken into custody on suspicion of a public order offence, the force added.

Police carrying out inquiries said no form of hate would be tolerated.
