Manchester City shrug off chaos and controversy in public shaming at Anfield | Andy Hunter
Story updated
The story in brief
32-second readWhat had been billed as a day of reckoning for the Premier League champions turned into a Sunday afternoon stroll Anfield welcomed Manchester City to their new reality, a sullied place where every touch is accompanied by cries of “cheat”, any favourable decision is considered proof of further conspiracy and every victory hollow.
But Welcome to Hell this was not. The only body of irrefutable evidence in City’s favour since the guilty verdicts landed is that Enzo Maresca’s league leaders appear immune to prosecution and persecution.
That may well change depending on the outcome of City’s appeal and any punishment that eventually arises, likewise the merits and value of a commanding 3-0 win on Liverpool soil.
