Everton fan who delivered supplies to Ukrainian refugees subbed on to score penalty

An Everton fan who has been delivering supplies to Ukrainian refugees came off the bench to score in a pre-season friendly at Goodison Park.

Paul Stratton has been doing his upmost to help those who have fled their country amid the Russian invasion. He has been recognised by the club he supports, who allowed him to play a part in their final pre-season outing against Dynamo Kyiv.

He was bought on as a substitute and strolled on to take an Everton penalty, which he slotted home. The crowd cheered as the individual revelled in his moment, celebrating on his knees in front of the home fans in the Gwladys Street End.
