EVERTON player Tim Cahill was caught up in an altercation with rival Liverpool supporters which ended with a bottle or glass allegedly being thrown in a crowded city centre bar.
The incident took place early yesterday morning (Sunday)in the upmarket Newz bar in Water Street, a favourite watering hole of Premiership footballers and celebrities.
It is believed Cahill had gone to the bar with friends following Everton's goalless draw against Birmingham at Goodison Park.
He was confronted with a group of jubilant Liverpool supporters celebrating their team's FA Cup semi-final victory against Chelsea.
According to an onlooker, Cahill became involved in a row with the fans shortly after he entered the bar.
He decided to leave before the situation escalated, but on his way out it is believed a bottle or glass was hurled in his direction, which fortunately did not hit anyone.
Newz bar owner Paul Flanagan said: "It was a bit of a storm in a teacup. The police weren't called."
An Everton spokesman confirmed there had been an incident involving a player, but he had been uninjured.
