Manchester City's team bus has taken some damage on the short journey back from Liverpool to the Etihad
Manchester City have claimed that their team bus was attacked as it made its way out of Anfield on Sunday evening.
A fiery encounter between the two biggest rivals for the Premier League title boiled over at numerous points, with unacceptable chanting from the away end followed by coins being thrown from the home end at Pep Guardiola as he remonstrated over a disallowed goal. Jurgen Klopp insisted he had not seen any coins thrown, while Guardiola sarcastically said that the fans showed less accuracy than when the City bus was attacked in 2018.
That incident, when the bus was bombarded on its way into the stadium for a Champions League quarter-final after Merseyside Police had publicised the route it would be taking days in advance, has contributed to much of the bad blood between the clubs in recent years. And at the end of another day where neither side could claim the moral high ground, City's bus was pelted again as it made its way down Anfield Road with subsequent inspection showing a crack in the windscreen.
City are still ten points ahead of Liverpool, and trail table-topping Arsenal by four points. Mikel Arteta's side won at Leeds on Sunday to record their ninth victory in their opening ten matches.
