The Bournemouth winger was sadly subjected to vile comments from an attending Liverpool supporter in the first half of action at L4.
On-pitch referee Anthony Taylor rightly brought play to a halt after the incident was reported, and relayed information to Andoni Iraola and Arne Slot.
Liverpool fan ejected from Anfield after Antoine Semenyo racial abuse
Antoine Semenyo puts pressure on Milos Kerkez who dribbles with the ball.
Reporter Chris Williams relayed an image shared from Anfield by @gazzalfc09 on X (formerly Twitter), which appeared to show the offending fan being escorted out of the stadium.
From here on, we strongly suspect the individual in question will suffer a lengthy stadium ban and further police prosecution.

It’s a huge shame, not least of all on an occasion where we’d honoured the memory of Diogo Jota following his tragic passing in the summer.
If ever there was a time to show unity and care for one’s fellow man – Friday was the day to do so.
Regardless, it goes without saying that racism will never have any place at Anfield or Merseyside. Quite frankly, it shouldn’t have any place across the globe in 2025.
Racism has no place at Anfield
The response from Antoine Semenyo couldn’t have been more emphatic – two goals to bring Andoni Iraola’s men back into contention for points.
Not to mention a firm ‘f*** you’ to racism in the game!
We’d like to once again extend a sincere apology to the Bournemouth winger for the atrocious abuse he suffered at Anfield.
The individual in question most certainly stands alone, but you won’t be walking alone in this instance, Antoine.
On to next week, and hopefully another three points for the mighty Reds!
