BURNLEY have been forced to launch a probe after Everton fans accessed restricted parts of their dressing room set-up.
The Daily Mail report that the fan was escorted away by Burnley assistant manager Craig Bellamy after he gained access to the coaches’ room.
The fan apparently strolled from the away concourse of Turf Moor through an unmarked door which led to the dressing rooms at the stadium.
The Everton supporter reportedly startled Bellamy and his other members of staff as they went through their final preparations for the game.
An angry Bellamy escorted the fan away from the dressing room and to the concourse but not before the punter was able to grab a selfie with Vincent Kompany’s assistant.
It is one of a series of issues the club are investigating on the night which saw Sean Dyche’s side leave with three points.
