Ronaldo loses temper, smashes Everton fan’s phone

Cristiano Ronaldo lost his cool after Manchester United lost to Everton 1-0 during the English Premier League (EPL) clash on Saturday as the striker smashed a fan's phone after the game.

The mother of the Everton fan whose phone was broken by Ronaldo claimed the Portuguese star carried out an assault on the teenager.

"At full-time, the Man Utd players started walking off. We were in the Park End so we were right by the tunnel where they came walking past - my son was there videoing them all," Sarah Kelly, the mother of 14-year-old Jake Harding, told the Liverpool Echo.

"He filmed all the United players walking through. And then he lowered his phone because Ronaldo had pulled down his sock and his leg was bleeding. He lowered his phone to see what it was - he didn’t even speak.

"Ronaldo then just walked past, with a terrible, terrible temper and smashed the phone out of my son’s hand and carried on walking."

Footage of Ronaldo knocking the device to the floor began to circulate after Everton's 1-0 victory over the Red Devils at Goodison Park.

Ronaldo later acknowledged what had happened and issued an apology to the affected supporter.
