West Ham’s game with Burnley was interrupted by a pitch invasion from several supporters.
Having fallen behind to Ashley Barnes’ opener with little over 20 minutes of the game remaining, some supporters left their seats and were seen making their feelings known to the club’s co-owners, who were sitting in the directors’ box.

Two West Ham supporters then made their way on to the field, with Mark Noble confronting one of them, urging him to leave the pitch. Footage appeared to show another supporter waving a corner flag around above his head.

Burnley swiftly added a second goal through Chris Wood, who later added a third, but by this stage the main headlines were being made by the protests in the stands.
There were several more interruption before the end of the game, with David Gold and David Sullivan urged to leave the ground before the full-time whistle.
