Jamie Carragher has been criticised for failing to condemn the alleged racial abuse directed at Antoine Semenyo in the immediate aftermath of the incident.
The opening game of the season between Liverpool and Bournemouth last night was stopped during the first half after Cherries forward Semenyo reported a home supporter had racially abused him in the crowd at Anfield.
The alleged incident took place during the first half and Semenyo made referee Anthony Taylor aware of the comment, leading to the stoppage. Play was halted for several minutes while players, coaching staff and stadium officials held a discussion.
