FOUR PICTURES: Burnley v Hannover 5 August 2017

Burnley's pre-season friendly at home to German club Hannover was abandoned on police advice after crowd trouble.

Trouble broke out in the first half in the Hannover fans' section at Turf Moor on Saturday. Seats were ripped up and thrown after visiting supporters surged towards the home fans in the Cricket Field Stand around five minutes before the end of the first half.

Home supporters were moved from the stand as police moved in. The players did not appear for the start of the second half with the decision taken to abandon the match.
