Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters has warned fans that the recent swathes of fan disorder will have ‘consequences’.
The top-flight chief has urged fans to think twice before entering the pitch or setting off pyrotechnics, admitting that the welcoming back of fans following the pandemic did lead to a deterioration in behaviour.
The warning came shortly after a small group of Everton fans ran onto the pitch following Friday’s ‘match for peace’ against Dynamo Kyiv. The actions of that group were met with dismay from most at Goodison Park and forced the club to release a statement explaining their ‘zero-tolerance approach to pitch encroachment’.
