West Ham United's 3-0 defeat to Burnley will be overshadowed by the unsavoury scenes at the London Stadium.

The Saturday afternoon clash was interrupted a handful of times by separate pitch invaders.

One grabbed the corner flag and held it aloft after making his way onto the field, while another was thrown to the floor by West Ham captain Mark Noble.

The Telegraph reports that a large number of fans flooded the standing area in front of co-owners David Gold and David Sullivan to hurl abuse at the businessmen.

The publication claims that fans accused the pair of "destroying our club", which mirrors the constant bashing that the West Ham figures receive on Twitter.

Supporters have been angry for some time, particularly after the club left Upton Park to move into the Olympic ground in Stratford in 2016, and it seems that the fury has boiled over.

For rival fans, though, the unsavoury scenes were met with amusement.

Tottenham supporters, who have been feeling miserable since their club were knocked out of the Champions League on Wednesday night, were among those on social media mocking the East London outfit.
