Radoslav Stamboliev, who filmed the clip, told Metro he thought the driver was ‘coming straight for us deliberately, completely straight faced’ and said there were children ‘everywhere’.

The 27-year-old, who had travelled up from London to watch the game, said he heard accelerating behind him before he jumped out of the way just in time.

He told Metro: ‘I heard this massive engine revving behind me and he started to honk his horn as well.

‘He lunged forward and it felt like he was coming straight for us deliberately, completely straight faced.

‘Because he made so much noise before coming at us most of us moved out of the way in time.

Detective Superintendent Rachel Wilson said: ‘I’m pleased to say that the number of people in hospital is reducing as they continue to recover from the awful incident.

‘We continue to support those still receiving treatment and as part of our ongoing enquiries we are identifying more people who were injured.

‘I want to reassure the public of Merseyside that detectives are making significant progress as we seek to establish the full circumstances that led to what happened.

‘In addition, extensive CCTV enquiries are being carried out across the city to establish the movements of the car, a Ford Galaxy, before the incident took place.’
