Donte Patterson-Stanley was rushed to Anfield’s first aid area after inhaling smoke during the home side’s 2-0 win over the Blues, his mum said.

Medics immediately put him on a nebuliser after he experienced red, itchy eyes and was coughing constantly.

His mum said the experience left him “confused and anxious”.

Frances Stanley told MailOnline: “Shortly after the smoke bomb was thrown into the away end, my son’s eyes went quite red and itchy and very watery.

“He was coughing non-stop and sneezing which he wasn’t doing just beforehand.

“My son has special needs with developmental delays. It was all a bit much for him and with him not understanding what was going on, he became very anxious.”

She added the boy was sick on the coach on the way home.

Frances also praised staff who acted swiftly, and said her son has made a full recovery.

Sadio Mane opened the scoring, before Mo Salah secured three points with an emphatic long-range strike.
