Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega has said Liverpool is "probably not the best part of the UK" following his team's 2-0 defeat at Anfield on Sunday.

In response to goading from Liverpool fans, Pep Guardiola held up six fingers to indicate the six Premier League titles he has won since arriving in England. "Anfield thrives on winding up managers and I think there was an element of it getting under Pep Guardiola's skin," Sexton added.

Liverpool overawed arch-rivals Manchester City in a 2-0 win on Sunday with goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah to take a nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League and extend their opponents' slump to seven games without a win.
