Liverpool hit with another UEFA charge after Dortmund win
http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/fo ... e-11200730Liverpool have been hit with yet another UEFA charge following their dramatic Europa League quarter-final triumph over Borussia Dortmund.
The Reds face punishment after a flare was thrown on to the field during their thrilling fightback against the Bundesliga outfit at Anfield.
UEFA have opened disciplinary proceedings against the club over “the setting off of fireworks” and the charges are stacking up for Liverpool.
After last month's last 16 tie with rivals Manchester United, the Reds were hit with five charges: illicit chants, setting off of fireworks, throwing of objects, crowd disturbances and a late kick-off.
Liverpool issued a statement saying they would “address the issues with UEFA”.
The club also publicly urged supporters to refrain from using flares prior to both legs of the quarter-final against Dortmund but the problem has persisted.
A flare was let off in the away end at the Westfalenstadion after Divock Origi scored in Germany and UEFA responded by charging Liverpool again.
Now they have done the same after a flare was thrown from the Kop during the second leg.
All seven charges against Liverpool will be dealt with by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body on May 19 – the day after the final in Basel.
