It didn’t matter that Liverpool scored 7-0 and sealed a historic win over Manchester United in the Premier League. The coach Jürgen Klopp exploded with fury because a fan invaded the Anfield field, bypassing the security of the stadium, and when he went to celebrate with the players he ended up injuring the Scottish winger Andy Robertson.
The Liverpool fan was arrested by security members and until this Monday the fan was heard from again, who is barely 16 years old and, carried away by the ecstasy of seeing his team humiliate an eternal rival, is at risk of never entering the mythical Anfield again.
