From bewilderment to euphoria, when Everton beat Newcastle after a bizarre protest

Just Stop Oil is against UK gas and oil policy in general. Whether the actions of the past two days are also directed against the influence of oil money in football is not entirely clear.

That is not inconceivable: Newcastle was recently bought by Saudi Arab investors who earned their wealth with oil. The Arsenal stadium bears the name of the airline company Emirates, from the United Arab Emirates, also an oil country.

From surprise to euphoria

The striking protest ensured that the game was given fourteen minutes of extra time. Everton ended up with ten men after a red card, but kept the visitors at a safe distance from the own goal.
