The dad of a 15-year-old girl who was struck by a pint cup 'weighed down by coins' at a football match says she will be 'scarred for life'. The teenager was attending the Manchester City vs Liverpool Carabao Cup clash at the time of the incident.
The Manchester Evening News reports the girl has received an 'unreserved' apology from Liverpool FC's chief executive. He said the club is 'as committed as we are to rooting this individual out of football.'
The girl, 15, was hit on the head by the hard plastic, reusable beer cup which was full of liquid and had a number of coins inside shortly after Liverpool's first equaliser. It happened 20 minutes into the tie last Thursday, December 22, which City won 3-2.
