The Everton vs Newcastle game was temporarily halted after a protester attached himself on the goalpost. Wearing a shirt with the slogan "Just Stop Oil" emblazoned on it, the protester tied themselves with a cable to the post, causing a lengthy delay. The move however, did not garner support from those in attendance of the match. A steward was forced to get a pliers in order to detach the cable from the goal frame before the protester was taken away by the police. A campaign group dubbed as ‘Just Stop Oil’ claimed responsibility for the actions.
