The scenes interrupted the flow of the cup tie, however, it’s understood the fireworks were done in a show of support to a 15-year-old boy currently in hospital.
The boy, named Khai Whitehead, has been in hospital with serious head injuries after being hit by a police car in Stockport on Boxing Day, the Manchester Evening News reported.
