MANCHESTER CITY star Rico Lewis was struck by a lighter thrown by the crowd.
The incident occurred midway through the first half after the defender was bundled to the floor in the corner flag by Conor Roberts.
As Roberts protested his innocence Lewis began to get back up to his feet as he was struck by the lighter thrown from the Burnley end.
He fell back down to the turf as he cried in anguish but did not require medical assistance.
Lewis was a surprise selection choice with latest signing Josko Gvardiol having to settle for a place on the bench.
