Man held after racist abuse reported at Liverpool match

Merseyside Police said the suspect from Liverpool was arrested yesterday on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence at a match at Anfield.

Referee Anthony Taylor stopped play in the 29th minute during the first Premier League fixture of the season on Friday after Semenyo reported being racially abused by a spectator.

A man was ejected from the stadium and the Premier League has said it will launch a full investigation.

Police yesterday afternoon confirmed a suspect has been taken into custody to be interviewed.
