Burnley fans evacuated from seats during Premier League clash due to Turf Moor roof safety concerns

Some Burnley fans were forced to leave their seats during their clash against Wolves due to a problem with the roof.

A piece of metal could be seen hanging from the roof above a section of the Jimmy McIlroy Stand at Turf Moor.

Supporters were therefore evacuated from their seats during the first half of the match and were able to watch the match in the fan zone.

On his X account, Burnley said: “Burnley fans are being moved from a section of the Jimmy McIlroy Stand due to ongoing safety issues with the roof.

“We thank our supporters for their cooperation and patience while we do this.”

Jacob Bruun Larsen opened the scoring for Burnley but Wolves winger Rayan Ait-Nouri scored just before half-time to make it 1-1 at the break.

MORE ON THE PREMIER LEAGUE

The two teams have very different expectations for the remainder of the season, with each needing crucial points to achieve their respective goals.

Burnley have been in a relegation battle for much of the season and started the day four points from safety in 19th position.

Wolves, on the other hand, could very well qualify for European football as they inch closer to the top seven.
