Jurgen Klopp said fans who directed chants at Liverpool supporters that indirectly referenced the Hillsborough disaster during his team\u2019s game at Luton should be ashamed.<\/p>\n
The taunts were sung by some home fans during the second half of the 1-1 Premier League draw at Kenilworth Road.<\/p>\n
Former Reds defender Jamie Carragher also condemned the chants, saying: \u201cWe\u2019re better than that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liverpool manager Klopp has previously spoken out against so-called \u2018tragedy chanting\u2019 between rival supporters and in July the Football Association issued a new charter outlining rules for dealing with the problem.<\/p>\n
It followed the arrest of a Manchester United supporter at last season\u2019s FA Cup final for wearing a shirt that mocked the victims of Hillsborough.<\/p>\n
After the Luton match, Klopp said he did not hear the chanting, which occurred while the game was still goalless shortly after half-time, but added: \u201cShame on everyone who said it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking on Sky Sports, Carragher said: \u201cAt the start of the season I was involved in something with supporters coming together about tragedy chanting.<\/p>\n
\nBut the world we live in right now, I think we\u2019re better than that<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve just heard that a couple of times in this game. As supporters you\u2019ve got to have rivalry, there is no doubt. But we\u2019re better than that.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s happened two or three times in the game. All clubs have been guilty of that over the years at different times.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut the world we live in right now, I think we\u2019re better than that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liverpool earned a dramatic point five minutes into added time when substitute Luis Diaz cancelled out Tahith Chong\u2019s 80th-minute goal for Luton.<\/p>\n
