Bolton fans attempt to confront boss Phil Parkinson and held back by stewards as relegation nears after Burton loss

The Trotters suffered a crushing 2-0 defeat to fellow relegation rivals Burton on Saturday.

It left the club second from bottom, a point adrift of safety with one game left to play.

Scuffles then broke out amongst a minority of supporters as frustrations boiled over.

One supporter was seen being escorted out of the Pirelli Stadium.
