'Our safety and security team launched an internal investigation at the earliest opportunity.'
Luton say ‘the Club condemns any kind of chanting that knowingly seeks to divide’ Luton Town have ‘wholeheartedly apologised’ after a ‘small number of supporters’ sang tragedy chants during their Premier League draw with Liverpool. The Hatters earned a remarkable point against the Reds on Sunday, but the game was marred after Hillsborough-related taunts could be heard at Kenilworth Road. Home fans reportedly sang: ‘Always the victim, never to blame,’ toward the away end.
Tahith Chong gave Luton the lead against Liverpool before Luis Diaz equalised ‘What has quickly become evident is that a number of people may have taken part without knowledge that the words used were in relation to the Hillsborough and Heysel tragedies, and we see the route to persuading supporters not to repeat these chants in future is through communication and education.
