The Premier League fixture between Everton and Newcastle United was held up for eight minutes on Thursday after a protestor tied himself to the goal post at the Gwladys Street end of Goodison Park.
The group claiming responsibility for the protest posted a Twitter message saying they were against new oil fields in the North Sea.
Newcastle are owned by a consortium involving the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, and comes in the week that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has visited that country.
It took a number of stewards and security staff to remove the intruder after he was cut free from the post, and had to be carried out of the stadium as he refused to leave on his own.
Alex Iwobi scored in the ninth of what turned out to be 17 minutes of stoppage time as Everton won the match 1-0.
