Southampton fans teased Liverpool supporters during their Premier League meeting on Tuesday night following in Reds’ recent booing of the national anthem.
Ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium, where Liverpool beat Chelsea 5-4 on penalties after a goalless 120 minutes, Liverpool fans booed when the national anthem was played and live images of Prince William were being shown. Asked about the incident at the weekend, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp felt that it was “not something he enjoyed” although he did defend the supporters who booed during both Abide With Me’ and ‘God Save the Queen.’
Given the recency of the events, Southampton fans teased the away supporters at St Mary’s during the Premier League meeting on Tuesday night. Saints took a surprise lead in the first half when Nathan Redmond’s long-range shot deflected off James Milner before going in past Alisson to put Saints ahead.
