I noticed these ’incidents’ as watching the game on Sky, especially the Mina one.
Cheeky gamesmanship from the posh seats
At Molineux in the penultimate game of the season there was chaos in the home end as a handful of Wolves supporters voiced their disapproval at celebrations sparked by Everton's late equaliser in the press and VIP section. In the final minutes against Bournemouth there were some useful games from the Goodison posh seats after a ball was hammered clear into their midst.
The ball was retained and play restarted with a new one - at which point the previous ball was launched onto the pitch in a bid to waste more time and take Everton closer to survival. As it bounced onto the playing area Everton launched an attack that Phillip Billing attempted to halt by kicking the spare ball as he chased back only for referee Stuart Attwell to ignore it, leading to Billing passing it behind the Park End goal as play continued.
Amadou Onana's throw-in celebration
In stoppage time Bournemouth found a surge of energy and almost took advantage of Everton's nervousness - coming closest when Matheus Vina forced Jordan Pickford into a diving save.
This article starts with Yerry Mina and ends with the centre back, such was his influence on the game. He is a master of gamesmanship and has repeatedly wound up rival strikers to the point of ineffectiveness in important games - key examples including the job he did on Kai Havertz in the crucial home win over Chelsea that kickstarted Everton's survival run last season.
As Everton's players were forced deeper and deeper in the final stages, Pickford caught a ball and stepped forward as though he was scanning for options to release possession to. Mina had second thoughts. He jumped on the England number one from behind, forcing Pickford to the ground, where he remained to swallow up more useful seconds.
