Newcastle United v Everton match delayed after fan ties himself to goalpost

Shortly after half-time with the score at 0-0, a supporter made his way from The Howard Kendall Gwladys Street End and tied themselves by the neck to the goalpost.

The individual appeared to be protesting with a t-shirt stating 'just stop oil' written across it.

This prompted a six-minute delay in play as the supporter was cut free. Another supporter was also escorted after encroaching the field of play.
