Just so angry.

"We've had discussions with the Premier League about it so they have been taking it seriously.

The whole country is watching and it's shocking."



An anti-discrimination message was read out to the crowd inside Anfield once the half-time whistle had blown.



In a statement issued at full-time, the Football Association said: "We are very concerned about the allegation of discrimination from an area of the crowd, which was reported to the match officials during the Premier League fixture between Liverpool and Bournemouth.



"Incidents of this nature have no place in our game, and we will work closely with the match officials, the clubs and the relevant authorities to establish the facts and ensure the appropriate action is taken."

Premier League Match Centre, external during the match: "Tonight's match between Liverpool Football Club and AFC Bournemouth was temporarily paused during the first half after a report of discriminatory abuse from the crowd, directed at Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo.



"This is in line with the Premier League's on-field anti-discrimination protocol.

We will continue to work with stakeholders and authorities to ensure our stadiums are an inclusive and welcoming environment for all."

Kick It Out said they "stand in solidarity" with Semenyo and added: "Thirty minutes into the first Premier League game of the season, and Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo is racially abused by someone in the crowd.



England defender Jess Carter was also the target of racist abuse during Euro 2025 last month.

England internationals Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka were subjected to racism too in the aftermath of the Euro 2020 final, held in July 2021, after all three missed penalties in the shootout loss to Italy.
