Liverpool investigate 'incident' between Wolves player Jonny and ball boy at Anfield

Liverpool are investigating an alleged incident between Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Jonny and a ball boy at Anfield.

There have been claims of a flashpoint in front of the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand as the Reds earned a 1-0 win in a controversial Premier League clash on Sunday.

It is understood Liverpool are looking into claims Spanish defender Jonny came into contact with a youngster while attempting to retrieve the ball.

“The club is aware of the incident and will follow established protocols in terms of gathering the relevant information,” Liverpool said in a statement, released to PA.

“While that process takes place we will be making no further comment.”

It is understood Wolves are aware of the alleged incident but are awaiting further feedback from Liverpool.

Sadio Mane scored the only goal to move Jurgen Klopp's side 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League with a game in hand.
