The Liverpool defender Taylor Hinds was subjected to “sexually inappropriate comments” from a spectator during the Women’s FA Cup win at Arsenal on Sunday, her club have said. The incident occurred while Hinds was receiving treatment on the pitch and a member of the crowd was removed from the stadium by stewards.

In a statement offering the club’s “full support” to Hinds and thanking Arsenal for taking swift action, a Liverpool spokesperson said: “LFC condemns all forms of discrimination. All players, now and in the future, should have the knowledge that our pitches and stadiums are safe places to play football. We thank Taylor for immediately raising this issue, her teammates and everyone at Arsenal for their swift actions.”
