Manchester City have made a complaint to Liverpool after alleging a fan spat at their backroom staff during the 2-2 draw at Anfield on Sunday.

Manager Pep Guardiola said he was not aware of the incident at the time but was subsequently notified and he is confident the host club will take the necessary action.

"They (the staff) told me but I didn’t see it," Guardiola said after the game.

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

It is understood Liverpool are investigating the incident and are looking at CCTV footage from that area of the ground.

Manchester City twice fought back to earn a point against Liverpool.

Phil Foden equalised after Sadio Mane had opened the scoring, before Kevin De Bruyne equalised late on after a wondergoal from Mohamed Salah lookd to have won the game for Liverpool.
