Everton fan embarrasses Reece James in hilarious Goodison Park footage
Footage has been released of an Everton fan hiding the ball from Chelsea defender Reece James at Goodison Park on Sunday [May 1].
Frank Lampard got one up on his former team with a crucial 1-0 win in the Blues’ fight to stay in the Premier League.
Richarlison scored the decisive goal but it was a monumental effort from everyone involved in the club with the fans more than playing their part before, during and after the game.
One fan hilariously mocked [Sky Sports] England international James as the ball went out for a throw. The supporter hid the ball under his top to waste a few crucial seconds which seemed to leave the right-back puzzled as to where the ball went.
Unity.
That is what a club united looks like, albeit in grim circumstances but there hasn’t been unity like that at Everton in a very long time.
Lampard deserves some credit because when he took over in January the club were in disarray and despite there still being huge problems as the Blues fight to stay in the Premier League – the fans have come on board.
Yesterday’s scenes were class as thousands of fans greeted the team bus with flares and chants of encouragement. That certainly had an impact on the brilliant performance of the players as they beat the current European champions.
Every single player played their part but a special shoutout needs to go out to Jordan Pickford. The former Sunderland man has picked up a lot of stick this season but a catalogue of hugely important saves saw the Toffees win yesterday and just might keep them in the league.
