Everton to give travelling supporters free tickets to next Europa League match

Thanks to manager Roberto Martinez, supporters who made the trek to Russia for Everton's Europa League fixture against Krasnodar on Thursday will be generously rewarded during the team's next away match in the tournament.

Martinez didn't give a reason for the gesture, but it's probably safe to assume it's a reward to the hundreds of supporters who made the difficult and expensive journey to the Russian city by the Black Sea.

Everton went on to grab a late equalizer as the match finished 1-1, with the Merseyside club sitting atop Group H with four points after two matches.
