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

The 1-1 draw with the Saints wasn’t a bad result on paper, 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, he entered the pitch – managing to dodge the stewards – in order to remonstrate with the beleagured 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.
