Beach ball alert at Anfield

Liverpools club shop have sold out of the 10 Beach Set that dashed the teams title prospects at Sunderland on Saturday and will search Manchester United supporters for any offending items,including beach balls,before Sundays Premier League clash at Anfield.

The clubs online store has experienced a rush on the beach package following Darren Bents winning goal at the Stadium of Light on Saturday,when his shot struck a Liverpool fans beach ball and ricocheted beyond goalkeeper José Reina. United supporters are suspected of being behind the increased demand for Liverpool beach products,with a tribute to Bents goal planned but risk having them confiscated at the turnstiles on Sunday. It will be the normal search policy, said a Liverpool spokesperson.
