Everton fan STORMS onto the pitch to confront Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke over a massive security breach during a crucial relegation clash… before the offender is dragged off by a steward before Toffees seals security
An Everton supporter stormed onto the Goodison Park pitch as he tried to confront Dominic Solanke, shocking footage shows.
Everton fought against Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon on the last day of the season for their life in the Premier League.
And in tense conditions, the Toffees ensured survival with a narrow 1-0 victory against Gary O’Neil’s men on their home ground courtesy of a stunner from Abdoulaye Doucoure.
Fans stormed the pitch after the match to celebrate staying afloat, but there was also some disturbing solo intervention during the match.
In a major security breach, a video released on social media shows a supporter crossing all barriers and running with hostile intent at Cherries striker Solanke in the 71st minute after the former Liverpool star collided with defender Jerry Mina.

The man was eventually dragged away by a steward when the 25-year-old assailant turned and saw how close he was.
While the field invader did not make it to Solanke, questions will be raised about how he was able to get so close to a possible physical confrontation with a player amid a fiery atmosphere at Goodison Park.
And fans quickly took to social media to question his actions.
The account that posted the video suggested the man wanted a “hair straightener.”
One of them said, “Ref has to stop play for the player’s safety. Everton lost 3-0. It’s only good.’
Added a second: “Ridiculous fan base.”
Another posted: “Everton fans will say that’s passion.”
While one concluded: ‘Mad gang.’
