Jamie Carragher apologises for appearing to spit at 14-year-old girl

Jamie Carragher has apologised to a 14-year-old girl for appearing to spit at her after Manchester United beat Liverpool 2-1 at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The teenage United fan was sat in the passenger seat while her father was driving and talking to the former Liverpool and England defender about the game.

When the driver repeatedly mentioned the score, Carragher is heard to say, “Alright”, before appearing to spit at the car alongside his.

The incident, recorded by the girl’s father, ends with the girl saying to her father that Carragher’s spittle had hit her in the face.
