Man City allege staff spat at in Liverpool draw: reports

LIVERPOOL - Manchester City have lodged a complaint to Liverpool alleging that a fan spat at their backroom staff during the

pulsating 2-2 draw at Anfield, reports say.

Liverpool are looking into the claim, the BBC and Sky Sports said, after
the Premier League rivals shared the points following a breathless second
half that saw City twice come from behind.

  "They (my staff) told me but I didn't see it," City boss Pep Guardiola said
of the alleged incident, according to the BBC.

  "I'm pretty sure Liverpool FC will take measures against this person. I
know they are greater than this behaviour."

  Mohamed Salah appeared to have won the game for Liverpool with a cracker at
a frenzied Anfield on Sunday after Phil Foden had cancelled out Sadio Mane's
opener, but Kevin De Bruyne's late deflected shot rescued a point for
Guardiola's men.

  The result leaves the Premier League title race tantalisingly poised, with
Liverpool a point behind leaders Chelsea, and City in third place, two points
off the top alongside a clutch of other clubs.

  Chelsea were the only side in the top six to win this weekend, seeing off Southampton 3-1.BSS/AFP
