Football bosses have called for action to stop “dangerous” pitch invasions after violence broke out at the end of an Everton v Crystal Palace match.
Palace boss Patrick Vieira kicked an Everton fan who goaded him on the pitch at Goodison Park after the home side won 3-2 on Thursday.
Police said four men were arrested and one officer was treated for smoke inhalation after flares were set off on the pitch. And during the match, an Everton fan seemed to slap Palace player Joachim Andersen on the backside.
