Normally accustomed to giving defenders the slip, on-loan Everton striker Enner Valencia was instead evading the clutches of the Police on Thursday during a World Cup Qualifier for Ecuador over alleged unpaid child support payments.
In a truly slapstick incident that even Benny Hill would be proud of, Valencia who was substituted in the 81st minute and left the action via a golf buggy after claiming of sickness, was then chased half heartedly by Police as he tried to make a get away.
According to the newspaper El Universo, Valencia is alleged to owe his former wife $17,000 in alimony. An accusation which if proven to be true, probably explains why Valencia was left reaching for the oxygen mask as he fled the scene.
