# Everton: Footage of Cavani vs Mina incident enrages fans

**A lot of Everton fans have flocked to a [tweet that was recently posted by Toffees news Twitter account @ToffeeTVEFC](https://twitter.com/ToffeeTVEFC/status/1341859521300410369) which shared some footage of Manchester United centre-forward Edinson Cavani’s off-the-ball clash with Everton centre-back Yerry Mina from the Merseyside club’s [2-0 EFL Cup quarter-final loss to The Red Devils](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55327849).**

The Uruguayan striker can be seen grabbing Mina by the throat and hurling him to the turf in this footage from Wednesday evening’s game, but the incident [wasn’t spotted by match official Andrew Madley](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9083985/Fans-aghast-Manchester-United-star-Edinson-Cavani-does-NOT-red-throat-grab.html).

The Manchester United man [has come in for some criticism](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9083985/Fans-aghast-Manchester-United-star-Edinson-Cavani-does-NOT-red-throat-grab.html) following this incident, with some declaring that he should have been sent off, though Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has stood by the 33-year-old, [dismissing that suggestion](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/dec/23/manchester-united-manchester-city-carabao-cup-semi-finals).

### **So, what did these Everton fans have to say about this incident?**

It would seem as though plenty of Everton fans would disagree with Solskjaer, however, as after this footage was shared on Twitter by @ToffeeTVEFC, a lot of Toffees fans flocked to their post to rage over Cavani’s actions.
