West Ham launch investigation into London Stadium crowd trouble

West Ham have launched a "full and thorough investigation" into the crowd trouble that marred their 3-0 defeat to Burnley on Saturday.

Fans invaded the pitch on three separate occasions at the London Stadium as protests over the club's ownership boiled over.

West Ham co-chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold both left their seats early amid a heated atmosphere, with the Premier League club, who are entrenched in a relegation battle, wasting little time in looking into the unsavoury incidents. 

"West Ham United have immediately launched a full and thorough investigation into the incidents which marred the second half of today's match and are committed to taking decisive and appropriate action," read a club statement.

"An emergency meeting has been called with all London Stadium stakeholders. There will be no further comment at this time."
