Premier League to offer education programme after being left 'appalled' by tragedy chanting aimed at Liverpool

The Premier League have released a further statement in regards to football tragedy chanting following Liverpool's game with Luton Town on Sunday.

Chants that indirectly referenced the Hillsborough disaster were heard from some home supporters during the second half of the 1-1 draw at Kenilworth Road. Luton confirmed on Monday night that they have launched an internal investigation and "wholeheartedly" apologised to anyone offended by the chants, adding they are "extremely disappointed."

The Football Association is also "seeking observations" from Luton and "further detail" from Bedfordshire police and the Premier League, in a statement released on Tuesday night, said it was "appalled" by the chanting heard at the match and "strongly condemns all forms of football tragedy abuse."
