Liverpool fans furious after ITV news presenter makes Arsenal comment during live broadcast

Liverpool fans were left incensed by a remark made by an ITV news presenter regarding Arsenal during a live broadcast following the Reds’ 3-1 triumph over Premier League strugglers Sheffield United on Thursday. The victory propelled Jurgen Klopp’s side back to the top of the table.

With the win, Liverpool now holds a two-point lead over Arsenal and boasts a three-point advantage over defending champions Manchester City with eight games left in the season. The race for the Premier League title is heating up, and every point counts as the season approaches its climax.

The intense three-way title race in the Premier League brought to light the allegiances of an ITV news reporter during coverage of Liverpool’s victory over Sheffield United.

On ITV News, Rageh Omaar remarked, “To sport now, and the tussle for the Premier League title is still as close as anything after Liverpool returned to the top of the table. They beat bottom club Sheffield United 3-1. Alexis Mac Allister got the goal that turned the game, so Liverpool are, regrettably, two points clear of Arsenal.”

Omaar’s comments sparked a debate among fans on Twitter, with some criticizing his lack of impartiality while others viewed it as light-hearted banter. One user expressed shock, calling it “shameful,” while another questioned Omaar’s ability to separate personal biases from professional reporting.

However, some defended Omaar, suggesting that his comments were in good spirits and noting his known allegiance to Arsenal. One fan saw it as harmless banter, while another, even as a Liverpool supporter, appreciated the light-hearted approach.

As the title race heats up, Liverpool prepares for a crucial showdown against bitter rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford. Meanwhile, Arsenal faces Brighton & Hove Albion, and Manchester City travels to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace in the weekend’s early kick-off.
