FA contacts Luton and police over tragedy chanting

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp joined Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag in calling for an end to tragedy chanting in March

The Football Association says it is "seeking observations" from Luton Town following tragedy chanting during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Liverpool.

"We are aware of tragedy chanting during the fixture between Luton Town and Liverpool," said the FA.

"We are seeking observations from Luton Town and further detail from the Police.

"We strongly condemn chanting of this nature and will continue to work closely with our stakeholders across the game, including the clubs, leagues, fan groups, and the relevant authorities to proactively address the issue."

BBC Sport understands Bedfordshire Police are talking to the club.

Meanwhile, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said anyone involved in tragedy chanting "should be ashamed of themselves."

Ex-Reds defender Jamie Carragher was commentating on the game for Sky Sports and reference the chanting during play, saying: "At the start of the season I was involved in something with supporters coming together about tragedy chanting.

"I've just heard that a couple of times in this game. As supporters, you've got to have rivalry, there is no doubt. But we're better than that.

"It's happened two or three times in the game. All clubs have been guilty of that over the years at different times. But the world we live in right now, I think we're better than that."

Klopp, who said he did not hear the chants himself, commented: "Shame on everyone who said it."

Klopp has previously spoken out against tragedy chanting between rival supporters, and in July the Football Association issued a new charter outlining rules for dealing with the problem.

The introduction of the charter followed the arrest of a Manchester United supporter at last season's FA Cup final for wearing a shirt which mocked the victims of Hillsborough.

The Football Supporters' Association (FSA) said the chants heard during the second half of the Premier League draw at Kenilworth Road are "totally unacceptable".

"Tragedy chanting reared its head again yesterday," the FSA said on Monday. "Just because something horrible was chanted in the past, it doesn't give anyone a free pass to sing something horrible years later. Let's all draw a line in the sand."

Liverpool earned a dramatic point five minutes into added time when substitute Luis Diaz cancelled out Tahith Chong's 80th-minute goal for Luton.

The Premier League meeting was the first between the two sides since an FA Cup replay at Anfield in January 2008.
