Liverpool have condemned ‘vile’ taunts in their game with Manchester City.
Chants related to the Heysel and Hillsborough tragedies were audible from the visitors’ allocation during Sunday’s Premier League clash at Anfield.
Assorted graffiti was also uncovered on the concourse of the lower Anfield Road Stand, where fans of the Premier League champions were stationed.
Shortly after the game, which Jurgen Klopp’s side won 1-0, Reds officials issued a swift response to the unsavoury chants aired towards the club.
“We are deeply disappointed to hear vile chants relating to football stadium tragedies from the away section during today’s game at Anfield,” read a statement.
“The concourse in the away section was also vandalised with graffiti of a similar nature.
“We know the impact such behaviour has on the families, survivors and all those associated with such disasters.
“We are working with the relevant authorities and we will also work with Manchester City in order to do our utmost to ensure these chants are eradicated from football altogether.”
Liverpool also confirmed that they are investigating claims City’s coaching staff were pelted with coins following their disallowed goal in the second half.
The Premier League champions appeared to take the lead through Phil Foden before VAR chalked off his strike for an earlier infraction by Erling Haaland.
A Liverpool spokesperson said: “We are aware of an incident involving objects being thrown into the technical area at today’s game.
“This is totally unacceptable behaviour and not the standards of behaviour we expect at Anfield.
“This incident will be fully investigated using CCTV and those found guilty will be punished, including a lifetime ban from Anfield and a possible football banning order.”
