Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira was associated with a squabble with a fan right after Thursday’s 3-2 Premier League rout at Everton and could confront a Football Association investigation into the incident.
Vieira was strolling towards the away dressing room after the last whistle having seen his side let a two-goal lead slip, and in the midst of a crowd of allies who had thronged the pitch as Everton sealed their Premier League survival with the success.

One fan seemed to incite the Vieira with hand gestures, after which Vieira kicked him to the ground and had to be led away by other supporters
“I’ve got nothing to say on that,” Vieira told reporters after the incident.
The pitch intrusion was the second of the match, the principal coming after Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s 85th moment victor.
