Premier League: BIZARRE scenes in Everton vs Chelsea clash – The Everton vs Chelsea clash on Sunday saw the Toffees registering a surprising 1-0 win over the Blues, but that was not the only surprising incident in a match that was marred by bizarre scenes.

Given that Everton are on the brink of relegation, they were likely to give it their all in this game and they did likewise, with a 46th-minute goal from Richarlison securing all three points for them. However, the Brazilian might be banned for the next three matches as while celebrating, he threw a flare into the crowd.

Everton have claimed they will investigate this issue, while also claiming that Richarlison’s intention was not to throw it into the crowd but out of the stadium. “We will look into the matter but, as far we are concerned, Richarlison was attempting to throw it out of the ground,” an Everton spokesperson said.
Richarlison could receive a three-match suspension from the FA after he threw a lit flare into the crowd during Sunday’s game against Chelsea. Any punishment is unlikely to be given until at least two week’s time, due to the incident being “non-standard”. (Source: Mirror) pic.twitter.com/BgTHfItAuy

Besides that, the match produced another funny incident. Everton fans crossed all limits to help their team secure a win, and one fan even tried to hide the match ball. As the ball went out of play for a Chelsea throw, the Everton fan tucked it underneath his t-shirt, with an unsuspecting Reece James searching for the ball rather foolishly.
