"This kind of behaviour is not acceptable in a stadium. I bring my friends to enjoy a game, and it gets ruined by a few silly people. Football should be a place where everyone feels safe and respected. This type of attitude has no place in the game and is simply not tolerated in football."
"Violent or disorderly behaviour is completely unacceptable and has no place in football. It does not reflect the passionate and loyal support Everton receives both home and away. The club will work with the relevant authorities to establish the facts and take any appropriate action."
"Officers and stewards responded to the incident. No serious injuries were reported. Enquiries are ongoing and we are working with both clubs to identify those involved. There have been no arrests."
During Everton's 2-0 defeat at Arsenal on Saturday, an altercation broke out in the away supporters' section. Everton striker Thierno Barry reported that his friends were attacked and subsequently escorted by Arsenal security and police due to concerns about retaliation from Arsenal supporters. Barry posted about the incident on Instagram, including video footage of fans fighting. Metropolitan Police confirmed no serious injuries were reported and no arrests have been made, though investigations are ongoing with both clubs' cooperation. Everton condemned the violent behavior, stating it contradicts the club's values and does not reflect their supporters. Both Merseyside and Metropolitan Police are working together to identify those involved.
