Man United lost to 17th-placed Everton on Saturday. Cristiano Ronaldo vented his frustration by smashing a phone of young Everton fan Jacob Kelly.

The 14-year-old kid was left bruised and the phone had a screen broken.

As confirmed by his mother, Jacob is autistic and it was the first time he attended a football match. So imagine the horrible experience he had.

“He filmed all the United players walking through,” Jacob’s mother recalled in an interview with the Liverpool Echo. “And then he lowered his phone because Ronaldo had pulled down his sock and his leg was bleeding.

“He lowered his phone to see what it was – he didn’t even speak.

“Ronaldo then just walked past, with a terrible, terrible temper and smashed the phone out of my son’s hand and carried on walking.

“You can see by the bruise that he’s made contact. I just can’t believe I’m talking about it.

“I was crying, I was shook up, Jacob was in complete shock – he’s autistic and he’s got dyspraxia as well, so he didn’t really digest what was happening until he’s come home now.

“He’s really upset about it and it’s completely put him off going to the game again. This is the first football game he’s been to and this has happened.

“We had an absolutely brilliant day up until those final few seconds when they came off the pitch. It’s completely ruined the day and put a bad taste in our mouth.”

Sarah also shared the following statement on her Facebook account, along with pictures of Jake’s bruised hand and the broken phone.
