A selection of music played throughout the course of the day around Liverpool's meeting with Manchester City on Sunday afternoon was hand-picked by Andoni Iraola's players, according to a new report.
Where does Rayan Cherki need to improve?More Videos
Despite all the talk of a brutally hostile awaiting Enzo Maresca and his Manchester City players on Merseyside, it was the league leaders who continued their fine run of form to claim all three points in emphatic fashion.
Riding an early storm of noise and reaction from the Liverpool fans in response to the Sky Blues' Premier League verdict issued over the course of the international break, City took control in the second-half to score thrice without response.
Erling Haaland opened the scoring as he lashed home from a deflected Jeremy Doku cross, before the Belgian doubled the advantage with a sumptuous curling effort having cut-inside from the left in typical fashion.
The scoring was wrapped up via Rayan Cherki, who converted a wonderful team-move to breakthrough the Liverpool rearguard with interchanging passes in close range, slotting the ball beneath a despairing Alisson.
Liverpool players plotted taunting of Man City
Now, according to talkSPORT's Alex Crook, Virgil Van Dijk and his fellow Liverpool players attempted to taunt those in Manchester City sky blue before and after Sunday's clash at Anfield by using the in-stadium music playlist.
It is detailed that songs blasted out across the Anfield PA system included Whitney Houston's 'It's Not Right' and Calvin Harris' 'Blame', while full-time and Manchester City's celebrations were paired with Fleetwood Mac hit 'Little Lies'.
What is the latest on Man City's guilty verdict?
Beyond the formal announcement by the Premier League during the international break, confirming that an independent commission had found City to have artificially inflated commercial revenues over a nine-season period, an appeal has since been lodged.
Manchester City remain confident of clearing their name and continue to refer to a body of 'irrefutable evidence', in a message that has been reiterated by chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak and chief executive officer Ferran Soriano.
The latter is understood to have addressed the City squad upon their return from the recent three-week international break, whilst the club's Men's first-team captain Ruben Dias has openly stated he trusts the club and those working above the squad in senior positions.
For now, the focus remains firmly on the pitch, and with a 0-3 win over Liverpool now in the rearview mirror, Manchester City switch their focus to the UEFA Champions League and a meeting with Paris Saint-Germain on matchday two of the league phase.
Wednesday night's meeting with the European champions is also expected to see former manager Pep Guardiola return to the Etihad Stadium for the first time since departing the organisation after 10 legendary years in charge back in May, 2026.
