Burnley has apologised and vowed to hand out lifetime bans after a plane carrying a banner reading 'White Lives Matter Burnley' was flown over the Eithad stadium ahead of the team's match with Manchester this evening.
The private plane crossed the sky above the stadium just moments after both Burnley and Manchester players took a knee to show their support for the Black Lives Matter movement.
In addition to taking a knee before games, all Premier League players have worn the words Black Lives Matter on the back on their shirts and a logo on the sleeve of jerseys to show support for the movement.
