Liverpool FC appeal to fans after girl, 15, suffers 'serious head injury' at Man City game

Liverpool FC have written to supporters who were at their League Cup clash with Manchester City last month asking for help identifying a fan who threw a pint pot weighed down with coins, seriously injuring a teenage girl.

The 15-year-old was struck by the missile thrown from the third tier of the Etihad Stadium, where approximately 5,500 visiting Liverpool fans were housed, shortly after the Reds' first goal in the game.

She was left with a one-inch gash on the back of her head and had to be rushed off to have it glued by medics after the hard plastic, reusable beer cup, which was filled with liquid and had a number of coins inside, shattered on impact.
