(Not the offending fan)
Phillip Gannon was seen on live television making a racially offensive monkey gesture during the FA Cup fourth-round match between the teams.
The normally heated atmosphere was even more volatile because it was the first game between the clubs since Liverpool's Luis Suarez drew an eight-match ban for racially abusing Evra.
On Friday, Liverpool Magistrates' court banned the 58-year-old Gannon from all Liverpool and England games and ordered him to pay a $280 fine as well as $467 in prosecution costs. Gannon is also banned from Liverpool city center for four hours before and after a match.
