Everton hit by huge fine from FA for pitch invasions against Crystal Palace

Everton have been fined £300,000 by the FA after pitch encroachments during and following their crucial clash with Crystal Palace at the end of last season.

The Blues dramatically secured their Premier League survival against the Eagles by coming from 2-0 down at half-time to win 3-2 at Goodison Park. Goals in the second half from Michael Keane, Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin earned Frank Lampard's side the three points that they needed in the campaign's penultimate match.

The win sparked huge scenes of jubilation, which included two separate occasions of fans encroaching on to the pitch. A small number entered the field of play in the immediate aftermath of the winning goal, scored by Calvert-Lewin, while thousands also ran on when the full-time whistle had sounded.
