Sean Morrison was at the heart of the action at the weekend as Liverpool defeated Cardiff City 2-0.
And comments made by the Bluebirds captain from earlier in the season have since resurfaced online, and Manchester City fans aren't happy.
Speaking in October, ahead of his side's Anfield visit, Morrison was asked who he thought would win the Premier League.

The central defender said: "It's a tough one to call. I'd love Liverpool to win it.
"I would love Liverpool to win it just because for them to get a Premier League would be fantastic for the club and for the city.
Gini Wijnaldum scored the Reds' first goal in the 57th minute.
Moments later Morrison was presented with a huge chance to level things up from a yard out, but the ball bounced off his back and away from goal.
The 28-year-old later fouled Mohamed Salah inside the box and referee Martin Atkinson pointed to the spot.
James Milner coolly added Liverpool's second to send Jurgen Klopp's side top of the league.

Man City fans who were perhaps hoping for a title race favour from the Welsh club took to Twitter to express their annoyance.
Supporters of other clubs were also fuming, one fan wrote: "Every helping hand they're getting this season."

He also gave away a stupid corner, then allowed Wijnaldum to run off him for the goal

Sean Morrison said he wants Liverpool to win the league before the match. Missed an open goal to equalize and conceded an idiotic penalty. I'm not saying anything.

After saying he wants Liverpool to win the league Morrison ducked out of a cross when the net was gaping then gave away a penalty. Coincidence ?

Morrison missed an open goal header and conceded a penalty.....This is very suspect. Especially after saying he hopes Liverpool win the league

Think Morrison must want Liverpool to win league, misses an absolute sitter, then gives ball away twice, before giving needless penalty away.

One fan wrote: "If we do win the league give Sean Morrison a medal" while another said: "Give the lad a contract".
Done a favour to Liverpool ? I’ll take that mate- thanks

Makes sense now I knew he missed that header on purpose
— ruan (@ruan77023217) April 22, 2019
Give the lad a contract
