Nine arrested at Liverpool v Man City over reports of tragedy chanting

A 19-year-old man has been charged with tragedy chanting during a match between Liverpool and Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday. Eight other men were also arrested on suspicion of the same offence during the Premier League fixture.
Kian Holt, of Medlar-with-Wesham, Lancashire, has been charged under Section 3 of the Football Offence Act 1991 and will appear at Sefton Magistrates Court on January 8, Merseyside Police said.
A 38-year-old man from Audenshaw, a 52-year-old man from Denton, a 57-year-old man from Failsworth, all Greater Manchester; a 53-year-old man from Manchester; a 32-year-old man from Macclesfield, Cheshire; and a 28-year-old from Prestwich were all arrested on suspicion of tragedy chanting and have each been released on bail, the force said.
A 58-year-old man and a 47-year-old man from Rochdale, Greater Manchester were also arrested for the same offence but have been discharged for voluntary attendance.
The taunts referenced the Hillsborough disaster, where 97 Liverpool supporters tragically lost their lives during the FA Cup semi-final in April 1989. Liverpool secured a 2-0 victory, extending their lead at the top of the table to nine points.
