Police investigating after Vieira fan altercation | Breaking News

Police in Merseyside and the Football Association have opened investigations after Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira was involved in an altercation with a fan following their Premier League defeat at Everton.

Television footage showed him being taunted by an Everton supporter as fans ran onto the pitch at full-time.

The Frenchman appeared to kick out at the fan before being ushered away by other supporters.

Police say they have not received a formal complaint about the incident.

“Merseyside Police is investigating an altercation on the pitch at Goodison Park following the Everton v Crystal Palace match on Thursday,” the force said.

“We are working with Everton to gather all available CCTV footage and are speaking to witnesses.

“No formal complaint has been received, and enquiries into the incident are ongoing.”

Everton staged a stunning comeback to win and retain their top-flight status.

“I have nothing to say about that,” Vieira said when asked about the incident during his post-match news conference.
