BLACKBURN, England (Reuters) - Burnley manager Sean Dyche expressed concern about the safety of his players after a Blackburn Rovers fan ran on the field and physically confronted his team during Wednesday's League Cup game at Ewood Park.

Burnley players were celebrating Jack Cork's opening goal in their 2-0 win when a Blackburn fan entered the field and squared up to the players, pushing James Tarkowski in the chest and then grabbing midfielder Ashley Westwood by the neck.
