Liverpool fans in police probe over racist abuse of Oldham player

Police have launched an investigation into the incident, which reportedly took place during the two sides' FA Cup clash last night.
The 20-year-old defender turned to confront the supporter in question after becoming visibly upset by the comments from the terraces.
Following the game, which saw Liverpool run out 5-1 winners, he gave a statement to the police.

According to reports, eyewitnesses heard one fan shouting 'You f****** black b******' at the player.

'I was standing to the right of the Kop End, and the number 11 (Adeyemi) turned to walk away after a tackle,' an unnamed individual is quoted by the Daily Mirror.

'I heard a single voice behind me shout "You f****** black b******".

'He spun round with shock on his face and started pointing at the crowd, from where the shout had come.'

Liverpool players offered their support to Adeyemi with captain Steven Gerrard comforting him on the pitch.

A statement from Merseyside police read: 'Merseyside Police can confirm that no one has been arrested this evening on suspicion of racially aggravated behaviour during tonight’s FA Cup fixture at Anfield.

'However, the force and Liverpool Football Club are investigating following an incident that occurred during the second half of the game.'

                               Police inquiry into claims of racism at FA cup match

Merseyside police launched an investigation yesterday into
images of a Liverpool fan apparently making racist taunts from the
stands, as claims of prejudice in sport risked overshadowing events
on the pitch.

Patrice Evra, the Manchester United captain, was repeatedly booed and subjected to chants of "there's only one lying barst--d" as his side lost 2-1 to a late goal by the Liverpool substitute Dirk Kuyt. Seventeen fans were ejected from the stadium and two were arrested.

Liverpool FC said it was "working closely" with police over a photograph posted on Twitter that appeared to show one Liverpool fan making a monkey gesture. In a statement the club urged "any of our supporters with any information to contact either the club or the police".

Liverpool's manager, Kenny Dalglish, had earlier praised both sets of supporters, saying: " I don't think there's anything that was untoward."

It was the first game between the two sides since the FA handed Liverpool striker Luis Suarez an eight-match ban for racially abusing Evra. During yesterday's game, Suarez faced chants of: "One racist bastard, there's only one racist bastard."

Before the kick-off supporters were warned by the stadium announcer that racist and homophobic behaviour would not be tolerated. Those found guilty of such offences could be subject to a lifetime ban from the club.

Chief Superintendent Jon Ward, the match commander, confirmed specialist officers were reviewing TV footage. "We take all forms of offensive behaviour seriously, and we will always thoroughly investigate such claims."
