Everton fans then gave Barkley a rapturous reception as he came on to the pitch for the home match against Burnley at Goodison Park and again when he scored in the 3-1 win. The paper also said they had not been aware of the family heritage of Barkley, whose grandfather was born in Nigeria. The Dutchman said that Barkley had never been in danger of being left out of the team despite his difficult week. Before the game, Everton issued a statement regarding their banning of The Sun. "Yesterday Everton Football Club informed The Sun newspaper it was banned from Goodison Park, the USM Finch Farm training ground and all areas of the Club's operation," the statement said.
