Liverpool has confirmed they have collected ‘substantial’ evidence relating to allegations of a fan at Anfield spitting at a member of Manchester City’s coaching staff on Sunday.
 

City made a formal complaint about the incident, which took place during the 2-2 draw between the clubs in the Premier League.

Speaking after the match, City boss Pep Guardiola said that he hoped Liverpool would take action against the individual responsible and that is what the Reds are in the process of doing.

Liverpool opened an investigation immediately and began searching for CCTV footage – City believed that the incident had been caught on camera.

Having gathered evidence, Liverpool has confirmed that in addition to issuing their formal sanctions on the supporter involved, they are prepared to pass anything on to Merseyside Police if requested as criminal charges could also be applied.
