MERSEYSIDE POLICE HAVE confirmed that a 20-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the racist abuse allegedly aimed at Tom Adeyemi during last night’s FA Cup tie between Oldham and Liverpool.
An investigation was launched following the game, with at least one eyewitness backing up Adeyemi’s claim.
The individual in question, from Aintree, Merseyside, has been interviewed by detectives and is currently being held in custody.
Earlier this evening, Liverpool FC released a statement, which read:
“Liverpool Football Club continue to work closely with Merseyside Police to establish all the facts surrounding the incident that occurred during last night’s game.“We take this matter extremely seriously and have today provided the police with the evidence we currently have available to us.”

Adeyemi, who is on loan at Oldham from Norwich City, has so far not commented publicly on the incident.
McCormack is a super player, covers acres of ground and always contributes a score or two.
How did Mccormack and John McGrath not start last week ffs. Hope it’s not too late.
@Michael Gleeson: Tipp impressive last week, albeit in a loss. Better than I thought they would be. Not sure about Flynn in midfield, McCormack a better option alright. Fully expect a win v Clare
Hard to call the outcome of this game . Clare will be the underdogs but will give them everything. Another great game to look forward to
@Finnster: should be a cracker , maybe a slight advantage to Tipp having a game under our belts .But then you add in Tony Kelly to the mix .
Clare by 4 .as long as James Owens doesn’t act the B+×=$x
Tipping by 7 or 8 points
