Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca said his squad “dealt with the noise” after they beat Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield, in the club’s first match since being found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules.
Speaking after the game, Maresca said he was proud of his players for the way they handled the fixture and the circumstances surrounding it. The manager’s assessment came in his post-match interview following the win.
The reference to “the noise” pointed to the off-field backdrop to the match, with Manchester City playing their first fixture since the finding over Premier League financial rules. Against that setting, Maresca’s side left Anfield with a 3-0 victory over Liverpool.
