Liverpool complain to Uefa over alleged racist abuse

Thursday, 28 September 2017 16:00

Liverpool has filed a complaint with Uefa over alleged racist abuse aimed at Bobby Adekanye during Tuesday's Uefa Youth League match at Spartak Moscow.

Liverpool claim the abuse occurred when the 18-year-old winger came on as a substitute in the 58^th minute.

The Russian side also face three charges for incidents involving fans during the 1-1 draw in their Champions League game against Liverpool later that day for illicit banners and chants, as well as setting off fireworks and blocking stairways.

Spartak were fined 60,000 euros (£52,664) for a firework incident during their match at Maribor earlier this month. They have also been banned from selling tickets to their fans for the match in Sevilla on 1 November.
