West Ham fined £ 100,000 follows the chaotic scenes that marked their home game with Burnley in the Premier League last season. Tempers ignited at the London Stadium in March, while Burnley scored three goals in the second half, with the fans run on the field and the owners of West Ham, David Sullivan and David Gold, forced to leave the position of director for their own safety.

A fan entered the game in a memorable way waving a corner flag, while others have become involved in confrontations with players, including Captain Mark Noble. The club has now been fined for the incidents, having initially rejected a charge of the Football Association.

FA statement says: "West Ham United FC has been fined £ 100,000 for failing to ensure that its audience behaves in an orderly manner and that there is no spectator or person unauthorized encroaches on the pitch during the Premier League game against Burnley FC on Saturday, March 10, 2018.

"The club denied the accusation, but it was then proved, and was sanctioned by an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing on Friday [18/01/2019]. "
