Everton condemn fan who sent death threats to Tarkowski lisbon365

lisbon365 Everton have condemned a fan who sent death threats to England defender James Tarkowski after Wednesday’s 1-0 defeat at Liverpool.

The 32-year-old was heavily criticised for his tackling of Alexis McAllister, who had cleared the ball but then lifted his foot and hit the Argentine’s calf hard. lisbon365

In the game, on-field referee Samuel Barrott only showed a yellow card, while VAR Paul Tierney upheld the decision and did not intervene to change it to a red card.

Although the PGMOL eventually admitted that the mistake should have been a red card, Tarkowski has been targeted by fans, with death threats against him and his family, and Everton are working with social media companies and the police to bring the perpetrators to justice.

“Everton are aware of the threats being made to James Tarkowski and his family on social media. This is completely unacceptable behaviour and has no place in football or our society. The club will continue to work with James and his wife Samantha, and is prepared to co-operate with the social media companies and assist the police in any investigations that may arise,” an Everton statement said.
