Liverpool have condemned a group of Manchester City fans for singing “vile” chants relating to tragedies at football stadiums during Sunday’s game at Anfield.
The Reds were 1-0 victors thanks to a Mohamed Salah goal in the second half of a thrilling match.
But the encounter left a sour taste for Liverpool, with some City fans’ grim songs audible during the match.
Liverpool also claim the concourse of the away end was vandalised with graffiti centred on a similar subject.
“We are deeply disappointed to hear vile chants relating to football stadium tragedies from the away section during today’s game at Anfield,” a Reds statement read.
“The concourse in the away section was also vandalised with graffiti of a similar nature.
“We know the impact such behaviour has on the families, survivors and all those associated with such disasters.
“We are working with the relevant authorities, and we will also work with Manchester City in order to do our utmost to ensure these chants are eradicated from football altogether.”
