A 47-year-old Liverpool fan who was last seen in a wheelchair was arrested Saturday after allegedly shouting racial slurs at Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo in a stunning scene that led to Friday’s Premier League opener in England being delayed for several minutes.

Police in Britain have arrested a man from Liverpool who is accused of shouting racist comments at a player during a Premier League soccer game this week.

Ahead of their opening game of the season against Bournemouth at Anfield, Liverpool decided to play ABBA’s ‘Gimme, Gimme, Gimme’ over the PA as part of the stadium’s pre-match playlist. The deliberate decision to play the song comes amid Liverpool’s heavily scrutinised pursuit of Isak.

It was a game that easily could have got away from Liverpool, and now captain Virgil van Dijk has sent a clear message to the decision-makers at Anfield. When speaking in his post-match interview, van Dijk reiterated his desire to improve the squad after the Reds captain called for a new forward following the Community Shield loss.
