Three men were arrested for alleged homophobic chanting at the clash between Liverpool and at Anfield on Saturday, police have said. Merseyside Police confirmed on Tuesday that, in three separate incidents, two arrests took place outside the stadium on Anfield Road with the other inside the arena itself. A statement confirmed that the men, aged 23, 37 and 49, were arrested on suspicion of “homophobic intentional harassment alarm and distress.”

“We are also aware that 16 people were ejected from the stadium by stewards for various offences during the match.”



“In this instance, if the three suspects are charged and found guilty for the offence, then we will be seeking football banning orders on them.” Meanwhile, Merseyside Police have welcomed the issuing of a banning order to an fan who shouted racial abuse at a supporter last year.



As well as the banning order, he was also was ordered to pay a fine, costs and compensation.
