Arsenal and Burnley supporters clashed in ugly scenes following the two sides’ Premier League match at Turf Moor. Martin Odegaard scored the only goal of the game with an excellent free kick to hand the Gunners an important win. 

The pressure had been piled on Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta following a disappointing start to the season. Sections of Arsenal’s support have been unhappy with Arteta’s management. 

But the club’s fans then clashed following their win over Burnley. 

The majority of the fighting appeared to take place once referee Anthony Taylor called time on a tense fixture. 

Missiles were thrown between both sets of fans, according to witnesses. Most of those objects were apparently empty plastic bottles. 

Footage posted to social media shows fans congregated in the middle of the stand behind one of the goals at Burnley’s Turf Moor stadium. 

Objects can be seen being thrown between supporters, who are separated by a small segregation. 

Only a few stewards appear to be present. They can be seen struggling to control the situation as it spirals out of control. 

Lancs Live have reported that a tannoy announcement was made requesting that fans leave the stadium immediately. 

A further update has insisted that the trouble has since calmed down and that the stands have been cleared. 

It is not yet known exactly what caused the tension between the two sets of supporters, who are not known to be fierce rivals.
