Manchester City have made a complaint to Liverpool after alleging that a fan spat at one of their backroom staff during today's 2-2 draw at Anfield.
The incident happened with the game tied at 1-1 in the second half, and with emotions running high after the Blues had been denied a strong penalty claim and were also furious as ref Paul Tierney failed to hand James Milner a yellow card for a blatant second bookable offence.
The incident was apparently was captured on a phone camera by another member of City staff after the spitting incident, which involved one of their kit men, and the Blues intend to put the matter to the Anfeld club.
Manager Pep Guardiola urged Liverpool to take action on the matter when asked about the incident.
He said: "I didn't see it. I heard about it, the people told me and if this happened I'm pretty sure Liverpool is going to take a measure about this person.
"Liverpool is greater than this behaviour, at every club there are people that make bad actions because of emotion - you have to control yourself."
There has been bad blood between the two sets of fans since Liverpool supporters rained a arrange of missiles down on the City team bus ahead of the Champions League game at the same ground in 2018.
