Everton and Liverpool have released a joint statement condemning the defacing of buildings and murals which occurred ahead of today's Merseyside derby.
The Trent Alexander-Arnold mural, commissioned by The Anfield Wrap in appreciation of the hard work undertaken by the charity 'Fans Supporting Foodbanks, was today targeted and covered in blue spray paint. Nearby artworks featuring Ian St John, Roger Hunt, Mohamed Salah and Jordan Henderson suffered the same fate.
Responding to the above incidents, chair of Fans Supporting Foodbanks Dave Kelly told the ECHO : "It is simple, I do not condone or condemn such behaviour but for the last seven years we have run campaigns under the motto 'hunger does not wear club colours'. Whether it is red or blue committing these crimes they need to give their heads a wobble.
