Football is a game of passion, but that's no excuse for what happened today at London Stadium.
West Ham fans stormed into the pitch several times as the Hammers lost 3-0 against Burnley. The team's poor display and David Moyes' choices had fans infuriated all game long, and some of them tried to take matters into their own hands.
When Burnley was up by two goals, things escalated between fans in the stands, and the team's owners had to leave London Stadium for security reasons.
This footage might give you a good idea about what went down today.

Here are some pics from the incident, so you get a better idea of what happened between West Ham fans and those who they are supposed to support.

Some fans carried a banner inside the stadium, complaining about the team's form. After watching how things turned out, this has to be considered one of the lightest protests...
One fan even took a corner kick post out of its place. Why?!
Some of Burnley's players such as Ashley Barnes tried to put an end to the protests by helping the stewards "tackle" the invaders.
That's not all that Burnley players did to help out as the riots intensified.
