The Crown Prosecution Service have confirmed that a Liverpool fan has pleaded guilty to committing a homophobic hate crime at last year's FA Cup final.
The Reds took on Chelsea in the showpiece event at Wembley, with Jurgen Klopp's side going on to win on penalties. But Paul Boardman, 34, from Sefton was not able to see any of the match after he was caught shouting homophobic abuse at Blues fans.
The abuse in question was the 'Chelsea rent boy' chant, which Mirror Football revealed last year would be classed as a hate crime. The Liverpool fan was heard shouting the chant at Wembley Park Underground Station while on his way to the final.
