Everton striker Thierno Barry called out fans who attacked his friend attending yesterday's 2-0 defeat at Arsenal.

Barry posted a six-second clip, where a few Everton fans could be seen punching his friend - with a steward stepping in to things escalating.

He then posted to social media: "This kind of behaviour is not acceptable in a stadium.

"I bring my friends to enjoy a game, and it gets ruined by a few silly people.

"Football should be a place where everyone feels safe and respected.

"This type of attitude has no place in the game and is simply not tolerated in football.

"My friends and the people who were attacked had to be escorted by the Arsenal club’s security staff as well as the police because of fears of retaliation from our supporters."
