[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, Jamie Carragher, Liverpool legend and pundit, was subjected to fierce abuse by Everton fans during Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Everton. Working as a commentator for Sky Sports, Carragher witnessed his former club claim a dramatic win against Everton — the team he supported as a boy — at Goodison Park. Shortly after the players of both teams emerged from the tunnel ahead of kick-off, Carragher was walking along the touchline towards the Sky Sports studio position. The former Liverpool defender was quickly targeted with verbal abuse by Everton fans in the stands. One fan first shouted “Fuck off, Carragher, you soft cunt”, before screaming “Fuck off, you wanker”. Carragher was seen responding to some fans in the crowd, briefly engaging in a heated exchange, before ignoring further abuse and continuing along the touchline.
The editor believes that this incident at Goodison Park did not affect Carragher’s mood, as Liverpool completed a domestic double over their arch-rivals. Liverpool are currently firmly in fifth place, the final spot for Champions League qualification, holding an 8-point lead over Everton and a 7-point advantage over Chelsea.
