One of the West Ham fans who invaded the London Stadium pitch during Saturday's 3-0 loss to Burnley was attacked by fellow members of the crowd.

A long-haired man, dubbed 'Jesus' by some Hammers supporters, appeared rather pleased with himself as he and another male returned to the stands after being ushered away from the playing area by defender James Collins.

The pair seemed keen to soak up the adulation of the crowd but 'Jesus' was set upon by multiple match-goers as he made his way up a flight of steps.
