Where were the police? Sullivan slams West Ham stadium security

The club's co-owner feels that he and David Gold were badly let down by a lack of appropriate policing during their 3-0 loss to Burnley

West Ham co-owner David Sullivan has criticised police and stewards at London Stadium after fan protests during Saturday's 3-0 defeat against Burnley spilled over to a shocking extent.

Fans invaded the pitch after Burnley's second-half goals, with one wrestled to the ground by Mark Noble after confronting the West Ham captain, while another individual planted a corner flag in the middle of the pitch.

A separate group of supporters congregated below the directors' box and directed their anger towards Sullivan and fellow owner David Gold, who were ushered from their seats as a safety precaution.
