Everton fan shouted racist abuse at Leicester City supporter

An Everton fan has been found guilty of shouting racist abuse at a rival Leicester City supporter during a Premier League game.

Matthew Gillespie, 32, of Asterfield Avenue, Bebington, Wirral, was arrested inside Goodison Park on 5 November.

He was handed a three-year banning order after he admitted a charge of racially aggravated public order at South Sefton Magistrates' Court.

Gillespie was fined a total of £470 and told to pay a victim surcharge of £140.

Merseyside Police said a steward and police officer responded to the incident during the game, which Everton lost 2-0.
