Chelsea fans disrupt minute's silence

A certain section of Chelsea supporters were heard disrupting the one minute's silence prior to their FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley this evening.

The silence was ordered as a mark of respect towards the 96 Liverpool fans that lost their lives during the Hillsborough disaster 23 years ago.

It was also planned to act as a moment to pay tribute to Livorno midfielder Piermario Morosini, who died of a cardiac arrest during a Serie B match yesterday.

However, a section of the Chelsea faithful were reportedly chanting "murderers" as the referee blew his whistle for the silence to begin.
