LONDON (Reuters) - Liverpool's American owners bowed to pressure from the club's fans by backing down on plans to increase ticket prices significantly for next season following a mass walkout protest at their Anfield stadium on Saturday.

Around 10,000 supporters headed for the exits during the club's 2-2 Premier League draw with Sunderland, in protest against proposals to introduce a highest-priced 77-pound ticket for next season.
