Liverpool v Man City: Nine arrested for Anfield tragedy chanting

Nine men have been arrested following reports of tragedy chanting at Sunday's Premier League match between Liverpool and Manchester City.

Merseyside Police said nine men, aged between 19 and 57 and variously from Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire, had been detained at Anfield Stadium.

One of the suspects, a 28-year-old man, was also arrested on suspicion of assault, police said.

Another man, a 19-year-old from Medlar-with-Wesham in Lancashire, has been charged with a public order offence, namely tragedy chanting, under the 1991 Football Offences Act.

He will face Sefton Magistrates' Court next month.

Liverpool won the match 2-0 and are nine points clear at the top of the table.
