Man City condemn 'hateful chanting' from their own fans during 4-1 win over Liverpool, with club vowing to work with fan groups and officials to 'eradicate' incidents in the future

Manchester City have issued a statement condemning offensive chanting from their supporters during their win over Liverpool on Saturday.

With the game level going into the interval, City fans could be heard singing 'always the victim, it's never your fault' at Liverpool.

The chant has associations with the Hillsborough disaster of 1989 where 97 Liverpool fans were killed following a crush during a FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough Stadium.

A statement said the club regrets any offence caused by the chanting and added that measures will be taken in an attempt to eliminate further incidents of hateful chanting occurring in the future.
