Football Fans Call Out Everton Supporters For Defacing Liverpool Murals

Football Fans Call Out Everton Supporters For Defacing Liverpool Murals

It's Merseyside Derby day as Liverpool take the short trip to Goodison Park this afternoon. It's always bound to be a tense clash between the sides and an entertaining watch for everyone, but it's the actions of a small minority of Everton supporters that has caused outrage today.

In 2019, a mural of Liverpool full back Trent Alexander-Arnold was painted on Anfield Road, to raise awareness for the charity 'Fans Supporting Foodbanks'. Across the road, there's other murals painted of Jordan Henderson and former Liverpool legends.

The mural of Mo Salah has also been damaged, with visible racial slurs spray painted across.

Supporters from both clubs are heavily involved with the iniative with helps to feed and support families across the city who are suffering.

It's undoubtedly a vile and unnecessary act done by a small minority of Everton fans, but with the foodbanks ran, supported and used by fans from both the blue and red side of Liverpool, it's a shame to see.

Social media has erupted with reaction to the video with Liverpool and Everton fans quick to condemn the vandalism.

'Fans Supporting Foodbanks' released a tweet earlier on saying:

Hungers not Red, Blue or Green, it doesn't have a Race, Religion or a Gender it doesn't discriminate. Hunger doesn't discriminate, it can impact on us all

A classy and brief statement from an even classier organisation who have set up a donation van outside Goodison Park today, where fans from both side can donate food for the less privileged around the city.

It's certainly a bad luck for Everton, but it is worth noting that the actions were done by an individual rather than the whole Toffee fan base.
