However, the left-back was ostracised by former Toffees manager Rafa Benitez - which led to him making the move to Aston Villa for a reported fee of £25 million.
He left having not played for the club since their 4-1 Merseyside derby defeat to Liverpool on December 1st.
In a statement after the game, Everton confirmed an arrest had been made, saying: "Everton security staff and Merseyside Police identified the supporter using CCTV footage.

Everton caretaker manager Duncan Ferguson called the incident "disgraceful".
Following the conclusion of the match, the Football Association added: "We will investigate the incident and will be liaising with the club and the police as a matter of urgency."
