Rejected Everton managerial target Paulo Fonseca led Shakhtar Donetsk to the last 16 of the Champions League as they beat Manchester City 2-1 at home on Wednesday night, and Toffees fans were quick to have their say on the news.
In a group alongside City and Serie A high-flyers Napoli, the Ukrainian outfit weren’t given a hope of reaching the knockout stages of the competition, and Fonseca even went as far as saying he would dress up as Zorro for a press conference if they did.
