Both Liverpool FC and the FA reiterated their commitment to addressing racist behavior in football and ensuring accountability.

A Liverpool man, 47-year-old Mark Mogan of Templehill Close, Dovecot, has been charged with racially aggravated public order offenses linked to an incident involving Bournemouth striker Antoine Semenyo during the Liverpool v Bournemouth Premier League game at Anfield in mid-August.

Merseyside Police confirmed the charge and outlined court appearance details in a public statement.

Mogan has been granted conditional bail and is set to appear at Liverpool Magistrates Court on December 22.

Semenyo spoke to ITV after the incident, saying punishments for racist abuse should be stronger, even suggesting jail time or lifetime stadium bans, and highlighted solid support from the football community.

Semenyo is from Templehill Close, Dovecot.

In the match, Semenyo scored both of Bournemouth’s goals, and he later posted a heartfelt message thanking teammates, opponents, officials, and fans for standing in solidarity.

Liverpool FC condemned racism and discrimination in response to the incident and said it was aware of the allegation.

The Football Association also expressed concern over the allegation and pledged that appropriate action would be taken.

Prior to the charging decision, Merseyside Police had released a man on conditional bail three days after the incident.
