Lucas Digne and Matty Cash were both struck by bottles thrown by Everton fans during Aston Villa's goal celebrations this afternoon.
Digne, who recently left Everton after falling out of favour under Rafa Benitez, made his return to Goodison Park as a Villa player following a £25 million move.
He was initially given a fairly good reception but that soon changed when Villa went 1-0 up on the stroke of half-time.
Digne got the assist when he whipped in a glorious ball from a corner that was flicked on into the top corner by Emi Buendia.
The former Norwich man celebrated in front of Everton fans and that angered many of the Toffees faithful, who responded by hurling objects.
Cash and Digne both fell to the floor and clutched their faces after being hit by the missiles in scenes that have become all too familiar in recent times.
Fans condemned the behaviour of some of the Everton supporters:
In an update on the matter, commentator Jon Champion revealed Everton's security are seeking the perpetrator who threw the bottles onto the pitch - while there was a message over the Goodison Park tannoy.
