Man City Under Probation By The Police Amid Liverpool Bus Assault

LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Greater Manchester Police (GMP) has started an investigation that Liverpool’s team bus was dented after the club’s English Premier League match against Manchester City due to reports.

According to CNN, a statement by the Police Force claims the incident was reported to have happened a place close to the Etihad Stadium, where the match took place, on Saturday afternoon.

“There were no reports of any injuries and the Liverpool Club coaches were able to continue with their journey.

“An investigation has now been launched by Greater Manchester Police to identify and locate the offenders,” read the statement.

In other word, Manchester City, who won the game 4-1 to keep alive their hopes of winning a third successive league title, described the incident as “totally unacceptable” and said it would “fully support” the investigation.

Manchester City Jack Grealish rejoiced after netting the team’s fourth goal during the Premier League match between Manchester City and Liverpool FC at Etihad Stadium on 1 April, 2023, in Manchester, England.

“We understand an object was thrown towards the coach in a residential area,” the statement said.

“Incidents of this kind are totally unacceptable, and we strongly condemn the actions of the individual(s) responsible.”

Also, Manchester city addressed the chanting aimed at Liverpool fans during the game.

Some British media channels reported that the chanting made reference to the 1989 Hillsborough stadium disaster which caused 97 Liverpool fans to lose their lives.

“We regret any offence these chants may have caused and will continue to work with supporter groups and officials from both clubs to eradicate hateful chanting from this fixture,” City said.

In a statement, the Premier League said: “The Premier League condemns the chanting heard during today’s match between Manchester City and Liverpool. The League is treating the issue of tragedy chanting as a priority and as a matter of urgency.”

The conflict between the two English teams has stirred up in recent seasons as both have competed for the league title. Last season, City finished one point ahead of Liverpool in the title race.

Ahead of Manchester United’s league match against Liverpool last month, the respective managers of both clubs called for an end to such chanting in a joint statement.

In a statement to CNN, a FA spokesperson said: “We are very concerned about the rise of abhorrent chants in stadiums that are related to the Hillsborough disaster and other football-related tragedies.

“These chants are highly offensive and are deeply upsetting for the families, friends and communities who have been impacted by these devastating events, and we strongly condemn this behaviour.

“We support clubs and fans who try to stamp out this behaviour from our game. We also support the excellent work of the survivor groups who engage with stakeholders across football to help educate people about the damaging and lasting effects that these terrible chants can have.”
