Liverpool won a fierce encounter 1-0 at Anfield, and it’s not the first time that City have struggled to cope with the intimidating atmosphere at the Reds’ home ground.
Still, there can surely be no excuse for trying to attack the players whilst they travel back from the game, and one has to hope the appropriate action is taken here.
There was alleged to be some unpleasant chanting from the away section yesterday, and that may need looking at as well, especially if it contributed to a further escalation later on that may have led to this incident involving the City bus.
Mohamed Salah struck the winning goal for Jurgen Klopp’s side, with Arsenal’s win earlier in the day meaning they’re now four points ahead of City at the top of the Premier League table.
