Everton fans CHANT over God Save the King before the Toffees' clash with Brighton at the Amex... just two days after their city rivals Liverpool booed the national anthem on coronation day

Everton fans chanted over God Save the King at Brighton's Amex Stadium - just two days after their cross-town rivals Liverpool also drowned out the national anthem.

The Premier League 'strongly suggested' that clubs should play the national anthem for this weekend's fixtures to coincide with the coronation of King Charles III.

It proved to be an unpopular move with Liverpool supporters, who booed and chanted when God Save the King was played ahead of their match with Brentford on Saturday evening.

And in a typical showing of solidarity among the people of the city of Liverpool, Everton fans were also vocal in their chanting over the top of the national anthem ahead of their away match on the South Coast.
