Liverpool fan questioned over 'racist' gesture Police are questioning a man in connection with an alleged racist gesture made by a fan during Liverpool's FA Cup victory over rivals Manchester United. Merseyside Police said the 59-year-old suspect, from the North Wales area, was held on Saturday evening hours after the game at Anfield. It came after television image captured the man making an alleged racist gesture during the clash, which was then distributed on social networking sites. It was the first game between the rivals since the eight-match ban imposed on Liverpool striker Luis Suarez after the FA found him guilty of racially abusing United's captain Patrice Evra. Before the match, the stadium announcer told supporters that racist and homophobic behaviour would not be tolerated, with the club warning that home supporters found guilty of such offences inside the ground would be subject to life bans.
