Asmir Begovic has revealed his reaction after witnessing an individual tie themselves to his goalpost during Everton's win over Newcastle United earlier this year.
Louis McKechnie, 21, made his way onto the Goodison Park pitch during the March fixture as he attempted to raise awareness of the 'Just Stop Oil' movement, who are attempting to bring an end to all new licenses and production of fossil fuels in the UK amid grave concerns in the role this plays in climate change.
McKechnie was today found guilty at a trial at South Sefton Magistrates' Court and handed a six-week prison sentence for aggravated trespass, which the court heard he had already served having been in custody since July. The protester was also given a £50 fine, or one day in detention, for going onto the playing area, made subject to a three-year football banning order and ordered to pay £500 towards prosecution costs.
