Everton fan given three-year ban for racially abusing Burnley's McNeil

0

An Everton fan has been given a three-year banning order after being found guilty of using racially abusive language towards Burnley winger Dwight McNeil.

The incident took place during Everton's 3-1 Premier League win over Burnley at Goodison Park on September 13.

A 43-year-old woman from Southport was removed from the stadium immediately and her season ticket was suspended.

Everton say they have a "zero-tolerance policy towards racial abuse and that hopefully [Tuesday's] conviction will underline that point".

It follows last month's news of an Everton supporter being given a three-year banning order for antisemitic chanting during the club's Premier League game against Tottenham in November.

A man was issued with the ban for shouting slurs towards Tottenham fans at Goodison Park. He was identified by witnesses, arrested and charged following an investigation with Everton.
