Everton have been fined 300,000 kilos ($331,920) by the Football Association (FA) for his or her supporters’ conduct throughout final season’s Premier League win over Crystal Palace at Goodison Park when there have been two pitch invasions.
Everton followers invaded the pitch following Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s Eighty fifth-minute winner and on the remaining whistle of their 3-2 victory over Palace, which secured their top-flight survival.
“Everton FC admitted failing to ensure that its spectators – and all persons purporting to be its supporters or followers – conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and refrained from using threatening and violent behavior whilst encroaching onto the pitch area,” the FA mentioned in a press release on Friday.
Palace supervisor Patrick Vieira was confronted by a fan when he was strolling in direction of the away dressing room after the ultimate whistle.
The fan appeared to impress Vieira with hand gestures, after which Vieira kicked him to the bottom and needed to be led away by different supporters.
Both events declined to make a proper grievance and Merseyside Police declined to file prices after an investigation. Vieira was not charged by the FA for the incident.
In July, the FA, Premier League and Football League introduced stricter sanctions for pitch invasions and using smoke bombs and pyrotechnics after an rising variety of pitch invasions on the finish of final season.
