A 44-year-old Everton supporter has received a fine and a three-year banning order after being found guilty of a racially aggravated offence during the Club’s home fixture with Tottenham Hotspur on 7 November 2021.

The incident took place in the Sir Philip Carter Park End Stand, near the divide with the away supporters, where the offender repeatedly shouted anti-Semitic insults.

The Club has supported Merseyside Police in its enquires which led to the arrest, and subsequent conviction at South Sefton Magistrates Court, under Section 5 of the Public Order Act.
