NYON, Switzerland (AP) UEFA has fined Everton 30,000 euros ($35,300) after a fan tried to punch an opposing team's goalkeeper when a clash between players spilled toward the stands.

UEFA says Everton was guilty of ''aggressions by supporters against players'' during a Europa League game against Lyon last month.

The fan was holding a child with one arm when he targeted Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes during the melee.

Everton said it would ban the supporter from attending games.
