Mischievous fans of rival teams have flocked to Liverpool's official online store to buy the club out of beach balls.

The Reds lost 1-0 to Sunderland on Saturday courtesy of a Darren Bent strike that deflected in off a large red ball that had been thrown into the penalty box by a Liverpool supporter.

Opposition fans revelling in Rafa Benitez's side's misery have bought all remaining 'beach sets' from the online shop, which consist of a towel, a bag and the now-infamous beach ball.

The sets had been reduced from £20 to £10 and have now sold out. They will be a must-have item for travelling supporters visiting Anfield in coming weeks.

Several web users have also left spoof reviews on the site.

'Natalie from Manchester' wrote: "I bought this set, but seem to have lost the ball in Sunderland. Is it possible to order a replacement?" while 'G from Johnon' commented: "This is one of the most flexible products I have ever purchased. Great for not only the beach, but can also play up front."

I heard Liverpool's new song is 99 Red Balloons.
Some German bird sings it I think.

See how the kids face was blurred out, to save him from his own supporters

Haha - that poor, poor kid. If the Kop Army actually find out (or even already know who he is) his life is going to be a living hell.

nothing makes me happier then when liverpool lose and under such circumstances

it didnt cost them the game though, a good team can come back from 1-0 down

you know what costs you the game? when you can't mark in the box.

Chelsea and Liverpool both were underdone by this on the weekend.

Liverpool - zonal marking
Chelsea - Cech and slack defending from set pieces

I'm sure with all the money Chelsea have they can send Cech to a psychologist so that he can confront his fear of getting hurt in a game.

Completely agree, it's a shame too, he was such a good keeper before. What's worse is that we have a very capable keeper in Hilario sitting on the bench...

totally agree ever since that kick to the head he just hasnt been the same keeper, understandably ive also noticed he always needs to take a couple of graps at the ball and he cant seem to judge them to well. its starting to cost chelsea matches though not only his lack of confidence but the defence in marking isnt making his life that much easier....

In the words of the great Don Logan: “No. No no no no no no no no no! No! No no no no no no no no no no no no no! No! Not this fukcing time! No fukcing way! No fukcing way, no fukcing way, no fukcing way! You’ve made me look a right cvnt!”
