Burnley have launched an investigation after an Everton fan gatecrashed their coaches’ room before Saturday’s clash at Turf Moor.<\/p>\n
Amid staggering scenes the Toffees follower was eventually led away by an irate Clarets assistant manager Craig Bellamy ahead of the visitors’ 2-0 victory in Lancashire.<\/p>\n
The fan is thought to have simply strolled from the concourse of the away end through an unguarded door moments before kick-off, startling Bellamy and other members of staff as they finalised their matchday preparations.<\/p>\n
He is thought to have cheekily asked Vincent Kompany’s No 2 for a selfie before those inside realised what was going on and demanded he hand over his phone.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Bellamy escorted the punter back through the door and onto the concourse, but not before he had taken a picture which he later shared on social media.<\/p>\n
The incident was one of a number of issues the home club are investigating after what was a feisty fixture which saw former manager Sean Dyche leave with three points.<\/p>\n

Mail Sport understands an Everton fan strolled from the away end and into the coaches’ room<\/p>\n
Ahead of the game there were concerns that the late kick-off time, coupled with the friction between the two clubs following Everton’s 10-point deduction for breaching financial rules and Burnley’s ongoing attempt to sue them, could result in a tumultuous occasion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That subsequently proved to be the case.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Monday, Burnley, who remain second from bottom of the Premier League after the loss, said they had launched an ‘immediate internal enquiry’ as a result of away supporters infiltrating home sections of the ground.<\/p>\n
