Everton have confirmed that they’ve arrested the fan who threw a bottle at some Aston Villa players during their 0-1 loss on Saturday.
They said in an official statement: “Police have arrested a supporter at Goodison Park for throwing a missile onto the pitch during today’s Premier League match against Aston Villa.
“Everton security staff and Merseyside Police identified the supporter using CCTV footage. Several objects were thrown towards the pitch following Aston Villa’s goal at the end of the first half, with one missile appearing to strike two opposition players.
“Investigations in conjunction with the police are ongoing, and the Club will issue bans to any fans identified throwing objects.”
Villa defender Lucas Digne, a former Everton player, was one of the players hit with the bottle after celebrating right in front of the Everton fans following Emiliano Buendia’s goal.
