Liverpool FC say they are "deeply disappointed" to hear "vile chants" relating to the Hillsborough and Heysel tragedies from the Manchester City end during Sunday's game.
Mohamed Salah's second-half goal was enough for the Reds in a match that saw Jurgen Klopp dismissed for an angry reaction towards the fourth official for one particular decision in the closing stages.
City fans could be heard throughout the match aiming the slurs towards their hosts over the tragedies, while Anfield employees were also forced to deal with vandalism to the concourses that aired similarly sentiments.

A statement released by the club shortly after full-time condemned the abuse and said they are working with the relevant authorities alongside City themselves to ensure such incidents are eradicated from this fixture going forward.
A Liverpool statement read: "We are deeply disappointed to hear vile chants relating to football stadium tragedies from the away section during today’s game at Anfield. The concourse in the away section was also vandalised with graffiti of a similar nature.
"We know the impact such behaviour has on the families, survivors and all those associated with such disasters. We are working with the relevant authorities and we will also work with Manchester City in order to do our utmost to ensure these chants are eradicated from football altogether."
Salah's goal in the 76th minute won it for the Reds as they gave their frustrating season a shot in the arm with a massive win over the champions. During the second-half, City boss Pep Guardiola was the target for a Liverpool supporter throwing coins as tensions flared in the dugouts and Klopp was sent off by referee Anthony Taylor.
Asked about that particular incident, Klopp said: “It's horrible. I’m sorry. I apologise for that. I had no idea about it. That never should happen. I didn’t see them thrown, no, of course not. I saw Pep [reacting]."
A club spokesperson said: "We are aware of an incident involving objects being thrown into the technical area at today's game.
"This is totally unacceptable behaviour and not the standards of behaviour we expect at Anfield.
"This incident will be fully investigated using CCTV and those found guilty will be punished, including a lifetime ban from Anfield and a possible football banning order."
Guardiola also responded to a question about the coin-throwing in his own post-match media conference, saying: "Next time they will do it better. They didn't get me. They tried but didn't get me. They got it on the coach years ago but not this time."
