Everton protests unfold inside and outside ground as Yerry Mina faces up to fans

Thousands of Everton supporters stayed inside Goodison Park to stage a protest against the running of the club - with some frustration later spilling onto the streets.

Campaigners remained in all four stands after the final whistle in a peaceful demonstration that underlined the strength of feeling among sections of the fanbase. Some unfurled banners, messages upon which included 'Kenwright & Co, it's time to go' and 'back the team, sack the regime'.

Stretches of gloomy silence were broken by the celebrations of the remaining away supporters after Southampton became the fourth side in a row to win at Goodison, as well as chants of 'sack the board' and 'you're not fit to run the club' from protesters. The demonstration later spilled onto the streets surrounding the ground, where fans unfurled banners amid a significant police presence in the area and with video footage showing supporters speaking with centre-back Yerry Mina.
