Liverpool Fans Spit On Man City Backroom Staff, Guardiola: Nothing Has Changed My Admiration For This Club

JAKARTA - A Liverpool fan is suspected of spitting on Manchester City's backroom staff during Sunday's 2-2 Premier League draw at Anfield. However, City manager Pep Guardiola believes the behavior of unscrupulous individuals does not describe the Reds as a whole.

Sky Sports said Liverpool had opened an investigation into the incident. While Guardiola admitted he was not aware of the incident and was informed by his staff later.

"I don't know what happened," Guardiola told Sky Sports after the game.

"I heard something from the crowd, something unpleasant for the staff. But I don't know exactly, I didn't see it happen.

"I'm pretty sure if that happens Liverpool will take action for the guy. Liverpool is much bigger than that behavior.

"Nothing changes my admiration for this club. It was the same story two or three years ago when we came here and they destroyed our bus. They are certain people, not just Liverpool," added Guardiola.

Man City came from behind twice to earn a draw at Anfield, with Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne scoring for the visitors.

Guardiola's side are in third place with 14 points, level with Manchester United, Everton and Brighton & Hove Albion. They will host Burnley after the international break on October 16.
