Three Arsenal supporters have been given three-year football banning orders after pleading guilty to tragedy chanting during an FA Cup tie against Liverpool.

The fans were charged with a public order offence after being heard in the match at Emirates Stadium on 7 January.

Arsenal said it has a "zero-tolerance approach" to tragedy chanting.

"We strongly condemn this abhorrent behaviour," the club said in a statement on its website.

"We will always ensure strong action is taken against those found guilty of such behaviour," added Arsenal's statement.

On Wednesday, a Manchester United fan was charged in connection with tragedy chanting towards Liverpool fans at last weekend's FA Cup quarter-final match.
