A PITCH invader who uprooted a corner flag and ran on the pitch during the match was detained by police at Turf Moor on Saturday.

Police moved in when a man in his 30s, believed to be a Leicester City supporter, jumped over the hoardings, around 15 minutes before full-time.

He waved the flag and then threw it into the Burnley goal area before taking off his shirt.

He was escorted from the pitch by a steward and then held by police.

The fan now faces a football banning order.
