The chairman of Burnley has vowed to "root out the racists" behind the 'White Lives Matter' banner flown over the Etihad Stadium on Monday night.

The Lancashire club were quick to condemn the banner, which was flown over the stadium at kick-off to coincide with players on the pitch taking the knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

The club have promised to issue life bans to anyone involved, and Clarets chairman Mike Garlick told ESPN: "We will root out these racists and I am sure they will be dealt with in due course.

"Following an emergency review this morning Blackpool Airport will suspend all banner-towing operations at the airport with immediate effect and we would suggest that other airports should also consider this approach in light of what has happened at Blackpool."

Burnley MP Antony Higginbotham also joined the condemnation of the banner.

"This crass publicity stunt was done with the intention of offending and causing hurt to so many in our community and those responsible should be ashamed of their desire to divide people," he said.

"They do not speak for the town and the club has my full support in finding out who they are and taking action.

"These attitudes have no place in Burnley or our society. We should be working together to tackle inequality rather than using people's race, religion or background to divide our community. I will keep working with the Premier League and Burnley to stamp out prejudice and discrimination."
