Three points and taunting of the highest order: Liverpool fans add insult to injury

Kurt Zouma won’t ever forget his team’s trip to Anfield. West Ham defender, who was shamed for kicking his cat a few weeks ago, got another reminder of his wrongdoings.CAT LIVES MATTER😂😂 #livwhu pic.twitter.com/yqqtU8ImyS— Tobi (@ThRognli) March 5, 2022 Someone, presumably a witty Liverpool fan, decided to hire a plane and fly it over Anfield at the start of West Ham’s match against the Reds. And the message read “CATS’ LIVES MATTER”.Zouma fined, cats taken away, club loses sponsorThis play on words emulates the Black Lives Matter campaign that’s widely supported by the Premier League and the clubs competing in England, but this one has got quite a few laughs at Zouma’s expense.The 27-year-old centre-back was also taunted by Newcastle fans two weeks ago. The black and whites’ supporters jeered the Frenchman and waved inflatable cats at him during their match at the London Stadium.#CatsLivesMatter above @LFC #anfield lol @WestHam @KurtZouma pic.twitter.com/b6svvKNlhE— FootballTilley (@Footballtilley) March 5, 2022 It’s now perfectly clear that football fans in England won’t give Zouma a break and won’t show him mercy for what he’d done.With City not in action until the derby against Manchester United on Sunday, Liverpool took the chance to increase the pressure on the champions. Sadio Mane netted in the 27th minute at Anfield with a close-range finish from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross. The Senegal forward’s goal survived a VAR check for offside and that was all Liverpool needed to make it seven successive league wins.Even if City beat United, Liverpool have a game in hand to keep the leaders within touching distance as they chase an unprecedented quadruple.The defeat was a blow to fifth-placed West Ham’s hopes of finishing in the top four, leaving them two points behind fourth-placed Manchester United.PREMIER LEAGUE – ROUND 28SaturdayAston Villa – Southampton 4-0 (2-0)/Watkins 9, Douglas Luiz 44, Coutinho 52, Ings 54/Burnley – Chelsea 0-4 (0-0)/James 47, Havertz 52, 55, Pulisic 69/Newcastle United – Brighton 2-1 (2-0)/Fraser 12, Schar 14 – Dunk 55/Norwich City – Brentford 1-3 (0-1)/Pukki 90+2 – Toney 32, 52 pen, 58 pen/Wolverhampton Wanderers – Crystal Palace 0-2 (0-2)/Mateta 19, Zaha 34 pen/Liverpool – West Ham United 1-0 (1-0)/Mane 27/Sunday17:00: (6.00) Watford (3.80) Arsenal (1.60)19:30: (1.40) Man.City (4.50) Man.Utd.
