Liverpool Fan Gripes about Alleged Nail Attack
What a kerfuffle!
A Liverpool supporter alleges getting pelted with a nail during their team's thrilling 1-1 draw at Manchester City.
The fan shares, "Bravo, @ManCity fans... No serious harm, but what if it had struck a young girl in the eye? Did anybody else spot nails being hurled from the City end or was it just this one?"
The fan concludes, "It's not a crisis, but it did happen."
As of now, neither Manchester City nor Liverpool have verified the nail-tossing event.
A grim echo from last year's battle
A 15-year-old Manchester City fan ended up in the emergency room following last year's Carabao Cup clash with Liverpool. The Liverpool fan launched a beer mug filled with coins into the crowd, leaving the City fan scarred for life.
- Great umbrage between fans continues, irrespective of the controversy surrounding the Manchester City-Liverpool encounter's nail-throwing allegations.
- Last year's Carabao Cup fixture between Manchester City and Liverpool saw a horrific incident involving a teenage City fan and a beer mug filled with coins from a Liverpool fan.
- The chiefs at Liverpool FC, managed by Jürgen Klopp, and Manchester City, led by Josep Guardiola, have always delivered pulse-pounding matches. Both are prominent figures in international soccer.
