The Football association has announced that Everton manager, Marco Silva has been fined £12,000 for confronting match officials on the pitch as his team lost 3-2 at Newcastle earlier this month.
Mark silva was fined for improper conduct which resulted from his behaviour on the field of play at the end of the Premier League fixture against Newcastle United on March 9.
The Portuguese was angry at Newcastle’s winning goal being allowed to stand despite what he saw as “five Newcastle players in the same line in offside positions”, and confronted referee Lee Mason on the pitch before angrily questioning the linesman who had not raised his flag.
Everton won the first half 2-0 and were almost certain of victory before Newcastle came back into the game and eventually won it. After the match, Silva tore into the officials, saying that for “the third goal it was a big mistake by the assistant, it was a clear offside…”
Everton are currently 11th in the Premier League standings after responding to the Newcastle defeat by beating Chelsea 2-0 at the weekend.
