An Everton fan has admitted assaulting Aston Villa footballer with a plastic bottle thrown from his seat.
Roger Tweedle, 19, hurled a bottle of Lucozade towards Villa's players as they celebrated a goal in their 1-0 win on 22 January.
A court heard he was seen to raise his hands in celebration when it hit Matty Cash in the face at Goodison Park.
Tweedle, of Walton, in Liverpool, admitted common assault and throwing a bottle at or towards the playing area.
He was granted bail ahead of sentencing at Sefton Magistrates' Court on 24 March and must not go within a mile of Everton's Goodison Park ground or attend any regulated football matches.
