DOMINIC CALVERT-LEWIN'S WIFE HAS BEEN HOUNDED BY SOME FANS ON SOCIAL MEDIA AFTER POSTING A SUPPORTIVE PICTURE OF HER HUBBY AFTER EVERTON'S FINAL GAME AT GOODISON PARK 17:50, 20 May


2025Updated 17:55, 20 May 2025 Everton have slammed 'threatening, racist and misogynistic' abuse aimed at the wife of star striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin on social media. Sandra


Calvert-Lewin was subject to vile abuse online after she posted of her pride at her hubby after the club played its final game at Goodison Park on Sunday. Alongside a photo of the centre


forward, who has been plagued by injuries throughout his career, she wrote on Instagram: "30 goals at Goodison. Top 3 ever. They might not shout about it - but we're proud every


single day." She followed it up with a post that read: "I've seen the unseen moments - the recovery, the doubt, the strength it took to keep going. The world saw Dominic


Calvert-Lewin the footballer. I see the man I love. And I'm endlessly proud of both." But she was met with a barrage of abuse from trolls, including one who wrote: "I'll


drive over you and your ugly baby next time I see you." And another sick message included a racial slur and sinister threats. Article continues below Sandra, a model, shared some of the


abuse on her Instagram page and fumed: "All of this just because I stood by my husband and said I'd be there for him — even in the quiet moments." In statement released on


Tuesday evening, Everton said it "strongly condemns the threatening, racist and misogynistic abuse directed towards the wife of Dominic Calvert-Lewin on social media" and vowed to


take action. It added: "This sinister and intimidating behaviour is not only deeply hurtful and distressing, it is also criminal – and does not represent the values of Everton or the


overwhelming majority of our supporters. The Club has a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of discriminatory and abusive behaviour. "We are working closely with Merseyside Police


and the Premier League to ensure the individuals responsible are identified and held accountable for their actions. "Threats or abuse of any kind – whether online or in person – are


completely unacceptable and have no place in our game or in society. "The Club urges anyone who sees or experiences such behaviour to report it to the authorities and relevant social


media platforms immediately. We will continue to offer our full support to Dominic and his family." Dominic, who has been capped 11 times by England, was a late sub in the club's


2-0 win over Southampton on Sunday as the Toffees bid farewell to its historic home of 133 years. Article continues below He has netted 57 times in 239 appearances for Everton, but is out of


contract in the summer and has been linked with a move to Newcastle. The couple welcomed their first child together in 2023 and tied the knot in March this year at a registry office with


just a few close friends and family in attendance. _FOR THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS AND STORIES FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE FROM THE DAILY STAR, SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER BY CLICKING __HERE__._
