The English Football Association has said they 'strongly condemn' the tragedy chanting that took place during Sunday's Premier League game between Luton Town and Liverpool, in a statement released on Monday.

"We are aware of the tragedy chanting during yesterday's Premier League fixture between Luton Town and Liverpool, and we are seeking observations from Luton Town and further detail from the Police," the FA said in a statement.

"We strongly condemn chanting of this nature and will continue to work closely with our stakeholders across the game, including the clubs, leagues, fan groups, and the relevant authorities to proactively address the issue."

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said he didn't hear the chanting himself but came down strongly on it, saying "Shame on everyone who said it [tragedy chants]."
