Everton fans throw Alex Iwobi’s shirt back at him after he gifts it to supporter

Furious Everton fans appeared to throw Alex Iwobi's shirt back at him after he tried to gift it to a supporter on Saturday afternoon.

Frank Lampard's side were convincingly beaten by Bournemouth 3-0 at Vitality Stadium, heaping more pressure on Lampard. Marcus Tavernier, Kieffer Moore and Jaidon Anthony found the net as Bournemouth registered their second victory over Everton in five days.

Footage spotted Iwobi walking away from the fans after gifting one his shirt, only to have it thrown back at him in disgust. Iwobi didn't realise the shirt had been launched back as he was already walking back towards the changing rooms.

It wasn't just Iwobi the Everton fans were furious with as unsavoury scenes unfolded after the full-time whistle.

Everton players clashed with their own fans, and it took police intervention to calm the two sides down. Jordan Pickford was seen remonstrating with a number of Toffees fans before he walked away from the situation.

Meanwhile, Lampard was having to drag players away from the situation as he tried to regain control and gestured to supporters in apology, following his team's Carabao Cup exit on Tuesday to the same opponents, after a 4-1 thrashing.

Lampard said: "Not a good one, clearly, to lose like that in the manner that we did.

"We started okay but the mistake gives them a goal, I think the referee got it wrong, game should have stopped as James Tarkowski is in the six-yard box down with a head injury.

"I think the referee got that wrong but I won't lean on that too much, it's difficult to get back into a game at 2-0 it changes the tone and makes it a completely different game but we have to take responsibility for it, it just wasn't enough."

The result saw Everton slump to 17th, just one point above the relegation zone, with only a single win in their last five league games and Lampard under mounting pressure.
