Stewards and fans clash in ugly scenes as Burnley go a year without home win

Wait 5 sec.

Burnley fans and stewards clashed on an evening the Clarets made it one whole year without a home win.Nicky Hayen’s side lost 2-1 to Wolves, leading to very loud boos at the end of the game and lots of anger directed at Alan Pace.Burnley are embroiled in a relegation battleGettyThere were banners calling for the American to leave Turf Moor, which led to scuffles with stewards.The stewards attempted to remove the flags from view, leading to clashes with sections of supporters.Pace is the chairman and majority owner of Burnley, and after a dreadful start to the season, he is the target of many fans’ anger.The Clarets are sitting in the relegation zone on eight points and could drop to 23rd by the time the weekend is over.And with their next home game not until Halloween, it will be a full year since they last tasted victory at home.The last time they did so was on October 18 against Leeds United, winning 2-0 in the Premier League.They have played 21 matches since and haven’t won a single one, with the pressure building on Hayen to turn it around.Pace is public enemy number one at Turf MoorGettyView Tweet: https://x.com/hashtag/TwitterClarets?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwView Tweet: https://t.co/tSEt2GmFcaFumingOne Burnley fan joined the Weekend Sports Bar to rip into the club.Lee said: “Alan Pace needs to disappear out of my town. Get rid.“He doesn’t know what he’s doing. He’s way out of his depth.“Hayen – where do I start? He can’t see out a game. His decision making and substitutions are absolutely shocking.“Then, he takes Vardy off when we are playing well and brings Broja on. Why?”It was a night to forget for Burnley and their fansGettyStory of the gameWith Burnley looking to charge up the table and get away from the Championship drop zone, they started very quickly and created chance after chance.Eventually, they grabbed the lead in the 20th minute as Jacob Bruun Larsen provided a perfect pass for Jamie Vardy.The 39-year-old made a run in behind and didn’t even take a touch.Instead, he just hit it first time across the goalkeeper and into the far corner like he has done his whole career.But a terrible error from Walker allowed Newcastle United loanee Sean Neave to roll the ball across the box for Fer Lopez.He guided his effort off the inside of the post to level the scores.In the second half, it was the visitors who were on top, but they needed two more individual errors to grab the victory.Igor Julio took an awful touch that Mateus Mane pounced upon and rolled the pass through for fellow substitute Tawanda Chirewa.Chirewa had been on the pitch for 21 seconds and rifled a shot at goal that Benjamin Coudert somehow didn’t save and tipped it into the net.From that point, the confidence drained from the home team and the visitors had a few chances to make it more comfortable before Armando Broja hit the bar.And at the full time whistle, there were very loud boos and chants of ‘Alan Pace is a w*****’.
