Everton fined £26,000 by Uefa after confrontation between fan and Lyon player

Everton captain Ashley Williams sparked the melee in the second half of the game at Goodison Park

Everton have been fined 30,000 euros (£26,647) by Uefa after a fan carrying a small child appeared to push an opposition player during the Europa League defeat by Lyon.

The Premier League club banned the fan following the incident on 19 October.

Everton's Ashley Williams sparked the melee which saw a home fan appear to push Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes.

European football's governing body Uefa has fined the club for "aggressions by supporters against players".

The Toffees also reported the supporter involved in the incident, which happened at the Gwladys Street End of the ground, to Merseyside Police.

An Everton statement shortly after the incident said that the action taken against the fan would "include a ban from attending future Everton fixtures".

Everton were fined £8,837 by Uefa in September, after crowd trouble during the home leg of their Europa League play-off match against Hajduk Split in August.
