NYON, Switzerland (AP) - UEFA has fined Everton 30,000 euros ($35,300) after a fan tried to punch an opposing team's goalkeeper when a clash between players spilled toward the stands.
UEFA says Everton was guilty of "aggressions by supporters against players" during a Europa League game against Lyon last month.
The fan was holding a child with one arm when he targeted Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes during the melee.
Everton said it would ban the supporter from attending games.
