Investigation launched into 'offensive' graffiti before Merseyside Derby

An investigation has been launched into the "offensive graffiti" seen before the Merseyside Derby.

Several murals near Anfield stadium were defaced in the hours before the Merseyside Derby between Liverpool FC and Everton FC on Saturday, September 3. The Trent Alexander-Arnold mural, commissioned by The Anfield Wrap to highlight the work of charity Fans Supporting Foodbanks, was targeted and covered in blue paint.

Nearby artworks featuring Ian St John, Roger Hunt, Mohamed Salah and Jordan Henderson were also targeted. The Hot Wok restaurant near Goodison Park was also tagged with reference to the Heysel Disaster.
