Sky Sports reporter apologies to Everton supporters after fan group accused the broadcaster of 'insinuating Goodison Park is a dangerous war zone'... amid protests over 10-point deduction

Sky Sports reporter Sanny Rudravajhala has apologised to Everton fans for the 'upset caused' after a backlash over their pre-match build-up to the Toffees win over Newcastle.

Prior to Everton's 3-0 win over Newcastle on Thursday night, Rudravajhalapreviewed the match 'on the other side of the river Mersey' rather than at Goodison Park.

Rudravajhala claimed it was because 'Everton fans are continuing to feel very frustrated and upset about this points deduction' and spoke of plans for a protest during the match.

Everton fan group 'The 1878s' took to X, formerly known as Twitter, had hit out at the coverage by insisting three protests held before matches over their 10-point deduction in the Premier League had passed off without incident.
