Liverpool have found no evidence to support claims a supporter spat at Manchester City's backroom staff at Anfield last month.
The Reds have closed the investigation into the alleged incident, which apparently took place after Phil Foden had scored City's first equaliser in the 2-2 Premier League draw on October 3.
Two fans were found to have shown aggressive behaviour with shouting and gestures towards the visitors' bench, and have been moved to seats away from the dugout while issued with a formal warning regarding their future behaviour.
But having studied video footage and gathered evidence through statements - including interviews with City staff members - Liverpool found no proof that any spitting had taken place.

A Liverpool spokesman said: “We have now completed a full and thorough investigation following a complaint of an alleged incident near the dugout area at our fixture against Manchester City at Anfield last month.
“The evidence gathered was substantial and included statements from Manchester City’s backroom staff, supporters, stewards, unredacted video footage and CCTV recordings.
“We have followed the club’s official sanctions processes and appropriate actions have been taken based on the evidence gathered and information received from the complainant.
“We would like to thank all parties who have supported this investigation and now consider this matter closed.”
City made an official complaint to Liverpool directly after the match last month, but no such complaint was lodged with Merseyside Police for any criminal investigation.
Interviews took place with supporters in the vicinity of the incident and the steward positioned next to the dugout, while statements received from City staff did not state they were spat at by a supporter.
The dugout at Anfield is surrounded by an exclusion zone which is likely to stay in place for the remainder of the campaign, meaning supporters are sat further away from the two dugouts than normal.
Liverpool have shared full details of the investigation with the Football Association.
