Chelsea condemn fans for hateful chanting
During the first half at Stamford Bridge, a segment of the home crowd was heard yelling "Murderers" and "Always the victims."
A club statement was released by Chelsea soon after the final whistle: “Chelsea FC condemns the inappropriate chants heard from some home fans during this evening’s game.
“Hateful chanting has no place in football and we apologise to anyone who has been offended by them.”
Premier League looking to address the matter
The Premier League stated that they will attempt to deal with the situation as soon as possible and also condemned the act by Chelsea fans.
“The Premier League condemns the tragedy chanting heard at tonight’s match between Chelsea and Liverpool,” read a statement released by the Premier League on Tuesday night. “We continue to treat this as an unacceptable issue and are seeking to address it as a priority.”
In November, the Football Association made a statement regarding the situation, saying, “We are very concerned about the rise of abhorrent chants in stadiums that are related to the Hillsborough disaster and other football-related tragedies.
“These chants are highly offensive and are deeply upsetting for the families, friends and communities who have been impacted by these devastating events, and we strongly condemn this behaviour. We support clubs and fans who try to stamp out this behaviour from our game.
“We also support the excellent work of the survivor groups who engage with stakeholders across football to help educate people about the damaging and lasting effects that these terrible chants can have.”
