Furthermore, a series of banners dotted around Anfield carried slogans such as: “A generation of supporters cheated,” and “And after all, you really robbed us all.” asserted

you → dot → us

Others banners - many of which referenced song lyrics by famous Man City fans Oasis - read: “Sham Pain Supernova”, “All of your stars are fading away,” and “Look back in anger, Shamchester.” asserted

All → reference → anger

City’s players, though, stuck together and ruthlessly punished Ryan Gravenberch’s red card just after the hour mark with three goals in a devastating 13-minute spell to maintain their perfect start to the Premier League season. asserted

players → stick → season

However, the statement 3-0 win was not enough to end the taunting. asserted

win → end → taunting
