Sheffield Wednesday has released a statement
Sheffield Wednesday has confirmed that the FA has launched an investigation after objects were thrown onto the pitch during the Steel City derby on Sunday.
United cruised to a 3 - nil win at Hillsborough, although the match was briefly paused while officials removed an object which had been thrown from the stands.
In a statement, the club wrote: "Given it is not the first time such actions have compromised the good name of our club, we reiterate in the strongest possible tone that this behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated."
"The safety of everyone inside the stadium – players, match officials, all staff and supporters – remains paramount.
"Working alongside South Yorkshire Police and with the aid of enhanced CCTV imagery, we are currently in the process of identifying those responsible.
"Anyone proven to have perpetrated such an act will face the maximum possible sanctions in line with EFL Ground Regulations, the club’s Supporter Conduct Policy and the law."
