Man City's Bernardo says he'll 'be in trouble' for speaking about handball incident before Liverpool goal

Bernardo Silva believes that if he speaks about the incident involving his handball before Liverpool's opening goal against Manchester City he "will be in trouble".

Fabinho hit a stunning 25-yard effort to open the scoring for Liverpool after six minutes, just 22 seconds after the visitors claimed they should have had a penalty when the ball struck Trent Alexander-Arnold on the hand.

However, VAR backed the decision of referee Michael Oliver and his on-field officials - with Bernardo having also handled a split-second before.

The City midfielder was asked about the incident after his side were subjected to a 3-1 defeat at Anfield by the European champions.

"If I speak, I'll be in trouble," he told Sky Sports.

"I don't want to speak."

The decision of no penalty left City boss Pep Guardiola fuming after the game as the Reds opened up a nine-point lead over his side who now sit fourth in the Premier League table.
