Following James Tarkowski’s tackle on Alexis Mac Allister in the Merseyside derby, he received abuse online from Liverpool fans.
The Everton defender’s wife Samantha Tarkowski posted about the abuse her husband received online on Instagram.
Everton have since released a statement about the same.
“Everton is aware of threats made towards James Tarkowski and his family on social media. Such behaviour is completely unacceptable and has no place in football and society.
“The club is liaising with James and his wife Samantha, and stands ready to engage with the social media companies and assist the police with any potential investigation.”
