On June 22, a Premier League match between Manchester City and Burnley took a disturbing turn when a plane flew over the Etihad Stadium with the message 'All White Lives Matter'.
The incident occurred during the match, which Manchester City won 5-0, reducing Liverpool's lead at the summit to 20 points.
Burnley FC has strongly condemned the actions of those responsible for the aircraft and offensive banner, apologizing to both Manchester City and the Black Lives Matter movement.
The club has promised to ban those responsible after investigations are concluded.
According to reports, the plane made a dummy run above the stadium during the game, but it is yet unclear who was involved in the act and what the intention was.
Manchester City players and staff were stunned by the incident, which came just as the Premier League resumed after a pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
