Donnarumma confronts Liverpool fans after ‘cheat’ chants during 3-0 Man City win

Manchester City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma confronted Liverpool supporters at Anfield following his team's 3-0 Premier League victory on Sunday afternoon. The Italy international re-emerged from the tunnel after the final whistle to approach fans who had subjected the squad to persistent chants of "cheats" throughout the fixture. A member of Manchester City's staff swiftly escorted Donnarumma away from the crowd and back down the tunnel.

The hostile atmosphere followed recent news that Manchester City were found guilty of 114 breaches of Premier League financial rules. Despite the off-pitch controversy, manager Enzo Maresca guided City to maintain their perfect start to the 2026-27 season, with Donnarumma securing his third clean sheet in six league matches.
