Crazy scenes as protestor ties himself to goalpost by his neck during Everton v Newcastle

At the start of the second half between Everton and Newcastle on Thursday evening, a protestor entered the pitch and disrupted the play.

The person in question ziptied themself to one of the goalposts and had to be freed by security with a pair of bolt cutters.

It truly was extraordinary scenes at Goodison Park and something we don’t think we’ve ever seen happen in a Premier League match to date.

The game was delayed for quite some time as well and when the protestor – who had “stop the oil” written on their shirt – was eventually cut free, it took a number of people to actually get them off the pitch and get play restarted.

Take a look at footage of the crazy incident here…
