The local rag reports:

‘A total of 15 arrests were made after last night's Everton-Manchester United match at Goodison Park. A major policing operation took place to prevent a repeat of the disorder which marred the last meeting between the two sides on February 19.

‘Following last night's match, eight Manchester United fans were arrested at Liverpool Lime Street station to prevent a breach of the peace, along with one Everton fan in relation to the violence which occurred in February.

‘Six other men were arrested around Goodison Park - one for possession of a controlled drug, two for criminal damage, one for public order offences and two for anti-social behaviour.’
