Manchester City’s Enzo Maresca defended the team’s celebrations after Sunday’s 3-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield, asking at a news conference on Tuesday, ‘What do you want us to do?’ amid criticism of their reaction to the result.

Maresca said City work every day to win games and were very happy after the match. Captain Ruben Dias backed him, saying the celebrations showed how much the Anfield win meant to the team.

Erling Haaland, Jérémy Doku and Rayan Cherki scored for City on 11 October. Liverpool’s Ryan Gravenberch was sent off in the 62nd minute, according to Sky Sports’ match report.

It was City’s first match since an independent commission found the club guilty of charges relating to Premier League financial rules. City denied wrongdoing and appealed the verdict. Dias said he trusted the club amid the appeal.
