Liverpool fans criticised for Luis Suarez chant against Patrice Evra during West Ham game

It comes after the former Liverpool player was charged with racially abusing Evra during a game against Manchester United in 2011.

Liverpool fans have been widely condemned after a section of their crowd directed chants at Patrice Evra on his West Ham debut. Suarez was handed an eight-match suspension and fined £40,000 for abusing the then-Manchester United player. An FA statement at the time said: "It is alleged that Suarez used abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards Manchester United’s Patrice Evra contrary to FA rules. "It is further alleged that this included a reference to the ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race of Patrice Evra." Today fans of the Merseyside club are reported to have booed the defender and chanted Suarez's name when he was on the ball. https://twitter.com/RichardBuxton_/status/967422520268869635 https://twitter.com/RichardBuxton_/status/967423028345925635 Here's how people reacted to their behaviour: https://twitter.com/reallyone/status/967424676023517185?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fmetro.co.uk%2F2018%2F02%2F24%2Fliverpool-fans-direct-luis-suarez-chant-patrice-evra-debut-west-ham-7339369%2F https://twitter.com/magicdamo/status/967424784593227776?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fmetro.co.uk%2F2018%2F02%2F24%2Fliverpool-fans-direct-luis-suarez-chant-patrice-evra-debut-west-ham-7339369%2F https://twitter.com/stonesliam1/status/967424861885947904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fmetro.co.uk%2F2018%2F02%2F24%2Fliverpool-fans-direct-luis-suarez-chant-patrice-evra-debut-west-ham-7339369%2F https://twitter.com/Leumas_7_/status/967425301184737283?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fmetro.co.uk%2F2018%2F02%2F24%2Fliverpool-fans-direct-luis-suarez-chant-patrice-evra-debut-west-ham-7339369%2F https://twitter.com/markgoldbridge/status/967424406770286592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fmetro.co.uk%2F2018%2F02%2F24%2Fliverpool-fans-direct-luis-suarez-chant-patrice-evra-debut-west-ham-7339369%2F https://twitter.com/TheCliveGritt/status/967423849729069056?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fmetro.co.uk%2F2018%2F02%2F24%2Fliverpool-fans-direct-luis-suarez-chant-patrice-evra-debut-west-ham-7339369%2F
