The scenes took place at the beginning of the second half of yesterday's Premier League match at Goodison Park.

A spectator had tied himself with cable ties, around his own neck, in one post.

The whole thing seemed to be a political protest with the message "Stop the oil" on the tied man's shirt.

After a few minutes, the clerks cut off the man with a pair of scissors.

- I've never seen anything like it.

At first I did not understand what was happening and it was a big delay.

I do not use it as an excuse but it may have affected us, because we were not the same team in the second half, says Newcastle's coach Eddie Howe after the match that Everton won 1-0.

After the match, the organization "Just Stop Oil" released a statement via Twitter where Louis, as the man is called, explained his actions:

"It's 2022 and it's time to look up, time to step forward and not just stand by.

It is time to act as if it were a crisis. "

Merseyside police announced that the man had been arrested after the match.
