Bournemouth midfielder Harry Wilson explains being snapped in Liverpool jacket

Bournemouth midfielder Harry Wilson has moved to explain why he was spotted in the stands at Anfield wearing a Liverpool coat on Saturday.

The midfielder returned to his parent club with loan side Bournemouth but was ineligible to play any part in the fixture.

After the Cherries' 2-1 defeat, Wilson said: "Fantastic effort from the boys yesterday and brilliant backing from the travelling Bournemouth fans.

"Deserved more from the game but we keep fighting.

"I'm aware TV footage of me in an LFC coat has angered a few people.

"Honestly, it was nothing more than I was cold and a member of the LFC staff offered me a jacket in a moment I couldn't disturb the Bournemouth guys working the game.

"Can't wait for next Saturday to be back playing."
