Liverpools thrashing of Besiktas under investigation

published on Dec 5 2007 by Ian Doyle, Liverpool Daily Post

LIVERPOOL’S record-breaking Champions League defeat of Besiktas last month is reportedly among the games UEFA are scrutinising over claims of match-fixing.

The governing body are said to have been alerted by a rush of big-money bets placed shortly before kick-off on a heavy loss for the Turkish side, who were subsequently thumped 8-0.

Liverpool have not yet been contacted by UEFA regarding the situation and last night officials at Anfield said they could not comment because they had no knowledge of any controversy.

UEFA have handed police a list of 15 matches it suspects may have been fixed, which include fixtures in the Champions League, UEFA Cup and InterToto Cup.
