Former Hammer Alvin Martin has described the scenes of West Ham supporter unrest in their 3-0 defeat at home to Burnley as a “real low for the club.”

A number of West Ham fans have voiced their discontent in the past at chairmen David Gold and David Sullivan but tensions finally spilled over after Ashley Barnes gave Burnley the lead midway through the second-half.

The goal sparked a shocking chain of events which saw club captain Mark Noble wrestle a disgruntled fan who invaded the pitch to the ground, while one fan ran on and stuck a corner flag into the middle of the pitch.
