Liverpool have condemned a homophobic chant heard by sections of their supporters during Saturday afternoon’s match Norwich City at Carrow Road.
A homophobic chant appeared to be directed at Chelsea loanee Billy Gilmour, in his first game for Norwich.
The homophobic chant has previously been directed at Chelsea players, with anti-discrimination body Kick It Out strongly condemning its use in 2019 and urging the relevant authorities to investigate.
Liverpool’s LGBT+ fans’ group, Kop Outs, highlighted and criticised the use of the chant on social media after Saturday’s match.
The club then tweeted: “The chant is offensive and inappropriate — a message we have repeatedly communicated alongside Kop Outs.
“We urge supporters to remember the inclusive values of the club and to refrain from using it in the future.”
Liverpool won the game 3-0, with Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah on the scoresheet for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
