In the shadow, the backlog of Matchday 20 as Everton faced Newcastle took place. At the beginning of the second half, however, the game was interrupted for a few minutes.
An unexpected visitor appeared on the pitch, who immediately tied himself with a clamp to the goal post. It was not easy to release it because it was stuck at the level of the neck. The action lasted several minutes. The supporter was an environmental activist, his T-shirt read “Just Stop Oil”, which translates to “Just stop the oil”. The stewards and security guards, however, dealt with the intruder.
– Activists promoting Just Stop Oil campaigns argue that they can go to jail if necessary to block an oil refinery in the UK. Their campaign is to stop the search for new fossil fuels in the country, theecologist.org reads.
It’s 2022 so it’s time to look up and do something, not just stand by. The situation really is an emergency. Each subsequent report says our future will be tragic and my government tells me not to worry and pay for my retirement – the Daily Mirror quotes the captured activist.
The match resumed and the ending brought the most emotions. From the 83rd minute, the hosts played the jackpot, after Allan saw the red card. The first and only goal of this match had to wait in added time, when Alex Iwobi beat the goalkeeper up close. Dominic Calvert-Lewin saw an assist and it was only the third goal of the season for the former Arsenal striker. During the summer, Everton bought him from Arsenal for 30 million euros.
Situation in the Premier League table
With the win, Everton broke a series of four defeats. Frank Lampard’s team is only 17th. Only because she was supposed to fight for European cups. Newcastle are the 14th Premier League leader Manchester City, with 29 games ahead of Liverpool.
