Manchester City beat Liverpool 3-0 in yesterday’s match in a controversial game, marking Man City’s first match since the announcement that the club had been found guilty of 114 charges relating to financial cheating and obstructing the Premier League’s investigation.
Boos rang around the stadium, while banners filled the stands as fans protested against Manchester City’s ownership. Backlash also swirled online, with questions raised over the players’ celebrations and reactions to the hostile atmosphere. Many felt the celebrations were excessive for a club found guilty of cheating, with Piers Morgan among those criticising the scenes online.
To react to all this and more, co-hosts Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan are joined by Daily Mail Chief Sports Writer Oliver Holt and Manchester City fan and content creator Lawrence Bury, aka ‘Buvey’.
They are also joined by former Liverpool and Newcastle United striker Andy Carroll, who weighs in on the Manchester City cheating controversy. Andy also discusses his book and reveals details of a traumatic experience in which he was sexually assaulted in his own home by a previously unnamed male celebrity.
Andy opens up about how sharing his experience has helped others, including other footballers who have reached out to him with similar experiences. He explains that this was the main reason he decided to include the story in his book at the last minute, having previously removed it.
