An Everton fan arrested for throwing a bottle at Villa’s Cash & Digne

revealed that one of the fans was arrested after

players

Matty Cash

and

Lucas Digne

were hit by a bottle in the

battle on Saturday.

The incident happened in the stoppage time of the first-half as Villa’s players were celebrating Emi Buendia’s goal, which was the only goal of the clash. The Everton supporters then throw drinks bottles in their direction and one of them hit Cash and Digne, one of whom played for Everton for three years before making a move to Villa last week as he was not included in Rafael Benitez’s plans.

Both of them held their heads but they continued playing.

After their 1-0 loss, Everton stated that the supporter was identified and the Merseyside Police will now deal with the matter.

"

Police have arrested a supporter at Goodison Park for throwing a missile onto the pitch during today's Premier League match against Aston Villa,"

a club statement read.

"Everton security staff and Merseyside Police identified the supporter using CCTV footage.

"Several objects were thrown towards the pitch following Aston Villa’s goal at the end of the first half, with one missile appearing to strike two opposition players.

"Investigations in conjunction with the police are ongoing, and the club will issue bans to any fans identified throwing objects."
