The Frenchman Lucas Digne and the Polish Matty Cash, from Aston Villa, were hit by a bottle thrown from the stands of the Goodison Park stadium when they celebrated the goal scored by his Argentine teammate Emilian Buendía in the match against Everton.
Both defenders went to the north end of the enclosure to embrace the South American attacker, who scored the only goal of the match in added time of the first half, when they were hit by a bottle, one of the many objects that were thrown from the stands in that area.
Both fell to the grass. However, the referee signaled the end of the first half and the players from both teams went to the changing rooms. The clash resumed normally and ended with the victory of Steven Gerrard’s team over Everton.
Digne belonged to Everton until recently two weeks , when he was transferred in this winter market to the Birmingham club. He assisted the goal scored by Buendía that gave Gerrard’s side the three points.
Everton sunk to the bottom of the table
A header from the Argentine Emiliano Buendía about to finish the first half cost the Everton a new defeat at home, against Aston Villa, which sinks it a little further in the English Premier League classification, with Duncan Ferguson as interim coach.
The dismissal of Spanish coach Rafael Benítez (Carlo Ancelotti’s successor), last Sunday, has not served to straighten the course of the “Toffees”, which momentarily occupy the position 16 in the table , just two places from relegation.
In the third minute of the first half extension, a corner kick taken by Lucas Digne was finished off with a header, from the small area, by Emiliano Bu Endía, who scored from the left corner, in the only goal of the match.
Aston Villa is now in a comfortable tenth position in the English championship.
