Chaos reigns as West Ham lose 3-0 at home to Burnley

March 10 (Reuters) - West Ham United could face serious repercussions after several pitch invasions during the second half of a crushing 3-0 home Premier League defeat by Burnley.

West Ham, dangerously close to the relegation zone, dominated the first half but everything turned sour at the London Stadium after the break.

Ashley Barnes fired Burnley ahead in the 66th minute, prompting furious home fans to run on to the pitch.

If that was not bad enough Chris Wood doubled Burnley's lead minutes later and this time there were scuffles in the stands and one fan ran on and took the corner flag.

Wood made it 3-0 as chaos broke out in the stadium, with West Ham's owners David Gold and David Sullivan being asked to leave the directors' box for their own safety.

Defeat left West Ham in 16th place, three points above the relegation zone.
