Arsenal fans 'set example' with Hillsborough respect at Anfield

Arsenal players, staff and fans 'set the example' for how other clubs should respect the memory of the victims of the Hillsborough disaster.

That is the view of Liverpool West Derby MP Ian Byrne, who described the league leaders as 'really classy' in their approach to yesterday's match against Liverpool.

The match took place just five days before the 34th anniversary of the 1989 disaster which took the lives of 97 Liverpool fans. Ahead of the game, Arsenal manager Mike Arteta and captain Martin Odegaard were seen laying wreaths at the Hillsborough memorial at Anfield. Arteta was also seen wearing a 97 badge during the match.
