The build-up to Saturday’s match between Liverpool and Manchester United at Anfield had been about the fallout from the report into the 1989 Hillsborough tragedy that absolved Liverpool supporters of any responsibility and exposed a police coverup.
Old rivalries between Liverpool and United were put aside before the first match at Anfield since the report was published, with both sets of players emerging on the pitch wearing tracksuit tops featuring the number 96, the number of Reds fans crushed to death 23 years ago.
For the first minute of the match three sides of Anfield displayed mosaics featuring “The Truth,” “Justice” and “96.”
