Enzo Maresca Challenges His Manchester City Players to ‘Make Our Own Noise’
On Sunday, Manchester City defeated Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield, maintaining their 100 percent start to the Premier League season despite the hostile crowd.
The match marked City's first appearance since an independent commission found them guilty of 114 breaches of Premier League financial rules, prompting Liverpool fans to taunt visitors as "cheats."
After a scoreless first half, City seized control following the 62nd-minute red card of Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, with Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku, and Rayan Cherki scoring.
Manager Enzo Maresca praised his players for handling the "outside noise," emphasizing that chief executive Ferran Soriano and director Hugo Viana attended to show club unity.
While City has appealed the financial rule verdict, the club faces potential punishments including points deductions or expulsion from the league if their legal challenge proves unsuccessful.
