An Everton fan who hit an opposition player while holding his young child has admitted he is ashamed of himself.
The supporter was captured on camera getting involved in a pitch-side brawl between Everton and Lyon players during their Europa League clash on Thursday.
He struck Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes on the head, an action which he claims he now regrets and about which he has spoken to Merseyside Police.
The fan, speaking to the Sunday People and staying anonymous, said: 'I was out of the police station inside half an hour with my solicitor, but I'm ashamed of what I've done.
