An angry Everton supporter was involved in a mass brawl during Thursday night’s Europa League clash with Lyon at Goodison Park.
The ugly scenes were sparked by an Ashley Williams foul on goalkeeper Anthony Lopes, who was then pushed in the melee towards the advertising hoardings where an irate fan carrying a young child slapped him on the head twice.
Williams was perhaps fortunate to escape with just a yellow card for his foul on Lopes.

The incident occurred midway through the second half when the score was 1-0 to the visitors.
Williams later equalised for Everton, only for Bertrand Traore to restore the Lyon lead which had earlier been established by Nabil Fekir.
