Protester ties himself to goal bringing Everton vs Newcastle clash to a standstill

A protester tied himself to a goalpost at Goodison Park on Thursday evening during the Premier League game between Everton and Newcastle.

The man wore an orange t-shirt that read "Just Stop Oil" and had a cable tie around his neck. A different man protesting for the same cause tied himself to one of the goalpost at the Emirates on Wednesday evening during the game between Arsenal and Liverpool.
