Turf Moor: Fans banned after seats and bottles thrown

Thirteen fans have been given football banning orders after bottles and wooden seats were thrown during trouble between Burnley and Arsenal supporters.

A steward was hit but no-one was injured in the clash after Arsenal's 1-0 win at Turf Moor on 18 September.

Lancashire Police said a 14th fan was fined while two teenage boys were given community resolutions.

PC Dan Fish, of Burnley Police, said: "The disorder between rival fans was completely unacceptable."

"It was only through good fortune that no-one was seriously injured," he added.
