The City team bus was pelted with missiles as it wound its way to Anfield yesterday evening, with windows being broken and a replacement bus needed to take Pep Guardiola’s men home.

Liverpool issued a public apology even before a ball had been kicked, but Guardiola was critical of the behaviour of the supporters after seeing his side suffer a shock 3-0 defeat at Anfield.
