Patrick Vieira Lands Kick On Everton Fan As Fight Breaks Out At Goodison Park, Video Viral
In a bizarre scenario after a Premier League match on Thursday, ex-soccer player Patrick Vieira, who now manages Crystal Palace, kicked a supporter on the field post-Everton match.
It all started after Palace’s heartbreaking loss to Everton… when a swarm of Toffees fans descended on the pitch to celebrate their team’s big win. One of the supporters appeared to taunt Vieira at one point during the commotion, and an altercation swiftly erupted.

As it can be seen in the captured video, Vieira grabbed the man, swiped his face, and then kicked him in the leg so hard that he collapsed to the ground. Another supporter appeared to shove Vieira, but happily, others intervened, and the brawl died down before it could become any worse.
Reporters approached Vieira about the incident just minutes after it happened, but he answered, “I’ve got nothing to say on that.” Vieira played for Arsenal from the late 1990s to 2005 and took over as manager of Crystal Palace in 2021.
This incident went viral all over social media and according to the reporter, the former player can now be investigated over his unsportsmanlike behaviour on the pitch by the Football Association.
Patrick Vieira (born June 23, 1976) is the manager of Crystal Palace in the Premier League. He is a former player and professional football manager from France International. He is widely regarded as one of his generation’s greatest midfielders. Vieira began his career in 1994 at Cannes, where he made numerous spectacular performances in his first season, earning him a move to Serie A club Milan a year later, although receiving limited first-team playing time. He moved to England in 1996, when he was able to join fellow countryman Arsène Wenger at Arsenal for £3.5 million.
