Crystal Palace Manager, Patrick Vieira has been captured on camera involved in a brawl with an Everton fan after his side’s defeat to Everton on Thursday night.
The defeat meant the Merseyside club will stay up instead of being relegated to the championship.
With Frank Lampard’s men trailing 2:0 at half time through goals by Mateta and Ayew, Keane, Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin all popped up with crucial goals in the second half to grab the home side three crucial goals.
The win sent the home fans into rapturous ecstasy as they invaded the pitch to celebrate with the players.
And that was when it happened. While the French manager was walking across the pitch to the dressing room, one overly excited Everton fan apparently poured some abuses to his face.
