Merseyside Police have praised Liverpool supporters for their "exceptional" behaviour during the club's Champions League semi-final second leg in Rome on Wednesday.

The Anfield club told supporters not to walk to the game at Stadio Olimpico, but the match - which saw Liverpool progress to the final - passed largely without incident off the field.

Chief superintendent Dave Charnock said fans remained in "good spirits" despite long queues to get into the ground because of extra security.

"One Liverpool fan was arrested by Italian police at the turnstiles on suspicion of common assault and a public order offence but we have not been made aware of any other arrests," said Charnock.
