Liverpool warned a section of supporters over their behaviour
The child had to receive medical treatment following a panic attack and police are still trying to identify the culprit.Liverpool, who were marking the 30th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, warned fans over the homophobic chants and pledged to ban any person found to have thrown the flare.A club statement read: “As ever, the overwhelming majority of those present at Anfield ensured the occasion was a fitting tribute. Regrettably however, a smoke device was thrown into the away section during the second half and we are actively working with Merseyside Police to investigate the matter. Any person found to have committed this offence will be banned from our ground. The club is also concerned about a chant from some of our fans, specifically referencing Chelsea, as inappropriate and offensive. We would urge all Liverpool supporters to respect each other and stop such chants as they do not reflect the inclusivity that the club stands for.“As a proud member of Stonewalls Diversity Champions programme, we are committed to LGBT equality across all areas of the Club and have contacted them and our own affiliated LBGT group Kop Outs for further support.
