Patrick Vieira appears to KICK an Everton fan following 3-2 defeat at Goodison Park... with Crystal Palace manager taunted by an over-zealous supporter who had joined the pitch invasion

Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira could face punishment from the FA after he lashed out and appeared to kick out at an Everton fan on the pitch after his side's 3-2 defeat at Goodison Park.

Thousands of jubilant Everton supporters, who had seen their side secure Premier League survival, invaded the pitch following the match.

Footage on Sky Sports showed one fan goading Vieira with what looked to be obscene gestures and the angry Palace boss reacted by lashing out, first with his hand before kicking the individual who had approached him.
