Liverpool FC has officially contacted Luton Town regarding the tragedy chants that marred their recent clash. The incident occurred during a dramatic match at Kenilworth Road, where Luton almost secured a surprising victory against the Reds. Ex-Manchester United talent Tahith Chong scored for the home side, putting them ahead 1-0 in the 80th minute.
The dramatic twist came when Liverpool’s Luis Diaz, making his first appearance since his parents’ kidnapping, equalized in the fifth minute of stoppage time. Diaz’s father is still missing, while his mother was rescued. However, the focus has shifted away from this dramatic finish due to allegations that a section of Luton’s supporters directed tragedy chants at Liverpool, referencing the Hillsborough disaster that claimed the lives of 97 fans.
So far, neither club has issued a statement regarding the incident. Nevertheless, Liverpool has taken the initiative and written to Luton, seeking information on their intended actions in response to the tragedy chants. The club has also offered guidance, consistent with their previous efforts to address such issues.
The Football Association (FA) has released a statement condemning the chants and is working closely with stakeholders to address the matter. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp also expressed his disapproval of the tragedy chants, stating, “Shame on everyone who said it.”
