Liverpool condemn further homophobic chants during Chelsea draw

Blues loanee Billy Gilmour was targeted while playing against the Reds for Norwich, and a similar incident has now occurred at Anfield

Liverpool have condemned homophobic chants which occurred during their game against Chelsea on Saturday, with certain supporters aiming an offensive song at the opposition once again, despite Jurgen Klopp's recent pleas.

Klopp publically called for Liverpool fans to cut out the 'Chelsea rent boy' chant last week, having seen Blues loanee Billy Gilmour targeted while playing in Norwich's 3-0 defeat to the Reds at Carrow Road on August 14.

Liverpool also released a statement branding the song "offensive and inappropriate", but the homophobic insults were heard once again when Chelsea arrived at Anfield for a top-of-the-table clash on August 28.
