Play was suspended in the 33rd minute after supporters surged towards the pitch and objects were thrown.

Visiting players appealed for calm and the match resumed after a break of almost five minutes.

Everton had opened the scoring moments before the trouble broke out through Michael Keane’s header.

The Toffees added a second goal through Idrissa Gueye shortly after the game restarted as the Croatian side trailed 2-0 at half-time.
