**Violence Erupts in Pre-Season Friendly as West Brom’s Jayson Molumby Punches Opponent**

In a shocking turn of events, West Bromwich Albion’s Jayson Molumby was involved in a violent altercation with Mallorca’s Samu Costa during a pre-season friendly match.

The incident occurred towards the end of the first half, when Molumby and Costa clashed on the field. The situation quickly escalated, with the two players exchanging heated words before Molumby delivered a closed-fist punch to Costa’s face.

The pair then fell to the ground, with players from both teams rushing to intervene and break up the fight. The referee did not issue a red card to either player, but Molumby was substituted at half-time.

The match, which was played behind closed doors, ended in a 1-0 defeat for West Brom, with David Lopez scoring the winning goal for Mallorca in the second half.

The incident has sparked concern about the level of violence on display, particularly in a friendly match. It remains to be seen whether Molumby will face disciplinary action from the club or the football authorities.

Molumby, 24, has made 103 appearances for West Brom, scoring five goals and providing five assists in all competitions. He previously played for Brighton and had loan spells at Millwall and Preston.
