A social media “like” by Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch has sparked a wave of criticism from the club’s supporters after it appeared beneath a post from Arsenal player Jurrien Timber.
The reaction came shortly after Liverpool’s defeat by Arsenal, with fans questioning Gravenberch’s decision to engage with the publication involving one of the Reds’ opponents.
What initially appeared to be an insignificant online action quickly developed into one of the most widely discussed subjects among English-language football users on social media.
