This is the moment an Everton fan ran on to the pitch to confront Roberto Martinez

There's always one.

This weekend’s clash against Southampton saw Everton go yet another home game without a win, and the fans weren’t happy.

The 1-1 draw with Saints wasn’t the worst result in the world but some fans showed they have clearly had enough of Roberto Martinez’s regime at the club by unfurling “Martinez out” banners.

And one fan was so angry that he entered the playing surface – managing to dodge the stewards – in order to remonstrate with the beleaguered Toffees boss and his players.

during the Barclays Premier League match between Everton and Southampton at Goodison Park on April 16, 2016 in Liverpool, England.

The fan managed to get up close and personal with Leon Osman before he was apprehended by stewards, who then led him away.

On his way out of the ground, he was ushered past Martinez.

The unrest among the fans came after Saido Mane scored for Southampton, bringing the tie level just eight minutes after Ramiro Funes Mori put Everton ahead.
