Three men were arrested following reports of alleged homophobic chanting in Liverpool’s match against Chelsea, Merseyside Police said on Tuesday. The men — aged 23, 37 and 49 — were arrested on suspicion of homophobic intentional harassment, alarm and distress. The 37-year-old man has been bailed pending further enquiries.

Superintendent Paul Sutcliffe said: “Merseyside Police will not tolerate hate crime of any form, and we will bring to justice anyone found responsible for committing any offensive chanting.



“It is vital that anyone who witnesses such an offence reports it to stewards or the police immediately, so we can take the necessary action. “As with all matches, we work very closely with both clubs to ensure the safety of the public and the teams themselves.”



Police say they are aware of the incident and Liverpool are in dialogue with the authorities about what more can be done to combat the issue.
