Fan handcuffs himself to goalpost
LONDON: The Premier League match between Everton and leaders Manchester City at Goodison Park was halted for around four minutes just before halftime on Tuesday when a male fan handcuffed himself to a goalpost.

Merseyside police eventually freed the man who had attached himself to the goal City were defending.

The police said a 46-year-old man from nearby Southport was arrested for pitch encroachment and was being questioned.

It is believed that the man was protesting against Ryanair's recruitment policy after his daughter was denied a job by the airline.
