A mum claims that Cristiano Ronaldo "assaulted" and "bruised" her 14-year-old son by swiping his mobile phone out of his hand at full-time of Everton's game against Manchester United.
Sarah Kelly, from Upton, took her 14-year-old son Jake Harding to Goodison Park on Saturday (April 9) to watch his beloved Blues for the first time. He saw Everton claim a crucial 1-0 victory thanks to a first-half goal from Anthony Gordon.
Jake and Sarah sat in the Park End, meaning that they were near the away side as the players left the pitch to return to the dressing room. Footage circulating on social media shows Ronaldo appearing to knock an object, suggested to be a mobile phone, out of someone’s hand as the Portuguese striker and his teammates made their way back to their dressing room, located in the car park of Everton's Park End stand following the full-time whistle. On Saturday night, Ronaldo apologised for his "outburst" at Goodison Park.
