Police probe into Merseyside derby claimsPOLICE were today due to speak to Liverpool and Everton FC officials after Sundayâs derby.
Officers were expected to investigate claims Blues captain Phil Neville, 31, was spat on and punched by Liverpool fans as he prepared to take a throw-in.
They are also looking at reports Anfield captain and England international Steven Gerrard, 27, was subjected to hate-filled chants about his daughter.
Cameras captured Neville being abused by several fans in the second half of Liverpoolâs 1-0 victory, and police are planning to examine CCTV footage.
Today a police spokesman said: âWe will be speaking to the clubs involved today.â
The forceâs football liaison officer Dave Lewis, who travels with the teams when they play in Europe, will head the discussions.
Today Everton spokesman Ian Ross said: âWe felt it necessary to try to involve the safety officers and police because we cannot have a situation where supporters are having physical contact with professional footballers during the game.
âWe want to make sure that doesnât happen again at the Merseyside derby or any other game.â
Responding to reports Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez was âvery disappointedâ by the attack on Gerrard he added: âWhilst we would never condone the singling out of individual players for vitriolic insults, it is a shame that Mr Benitez chose to ignore the actions of his own clubâs supporters.
âNot only was Joleon Lescott subjected to an afternoon-long barrage of quite disgusting and quite audible abuse, Phil Neville was seemingly spat at several times and was also punched in the back by a supporter as he took a throw-in.
âWe have asked Merseyside police and our safety officer to look into the matter.
âIn calling for Everton supporters to respect his players Mr Benitez should, perhaps, remember his comments of 12 months ago when he sought to belittle one of world sportâs oldest and most respected institutions by describing us as a âsmall clubâ.
âRespect is a two-way street.â
