Burnley have launched an investigation after an Everton fan burst into their coaches' room ahead of Saturday's match at Turf Moor.
Amid stunning scenes, the Toffees follower was eventually led away by an irate Clarets assistant manager Craig Bellamy ahead of the visitors' 2-0 win in Lancashire.
It is believed the fan simply walked from the away team's lobby through an unattended door just before kick-off, startling Bellamy and other staff as they completed their matchday preparations.
It is believed he brazenly asked Vincent Kompany's number 2 for a selfie before the people inside realized what was happening and demanded he hand over his phone.

Eventually, Bellamy escorted the punter back through the door and into the hall, but not before taking a photo which he later shared on social media.
The incident was one of the problems the home club is investigating after a tough match in which former manager Sean Dyche left with three points.

Before the match, there were concerns that the late kick-off, coupled with friction between the two clubs following Everton's 10-point deduction for breaching financial rules and Burnley's continued attempt to sue them, could result in a tumultuous event.
That later turned out to be the case.
On Monday, Burnley, who remain second in the Premier League after the defeat, said they had launched an “immediate internal investigation” following away fans infiltrating home areas of the pitch.
