Sarah Kelly, the mother of the autistic teenager Everton fan whose phone was smashed by Cristiano Ronaldo at Goodison Park, has urged the Football Association (FA) to sanction him appropriately.
According to her, the football star “can’t keep getting away” with his “unacceptable behaviour”.
The FA has already charged the Manchester United forward, after revealing footage showed him slapping a phone out of 14-year-old Jacob Harding’s hand.
FA in a statement said, “Cristiano Ronaldo has been charged with a breach of FA Rule E3 for an incident that took place after Manchester United’s Premier League match against Everton FC on Saturday 9 April 2022.
‘It is alleged that the forward’s conduct after the final whistle was improper and/or violent.”

Jacob’s mother has now urged the football governing body to dish out the “right punishment” to Ronaldo.
“Let’s hope he finally gets the right punishment,” she told the UK Mirror.
“He can’t keep getting away with it. His behaviour is unacceptable.”
Man United who is currently fifth on the log face Crystal Palace in the Premier League after the international break.
