According to 'The Times' journalist Paul Joyce, the FA will not take any action against Manchester City players and staff after a video emerged of them singing an offensive chant about Liverpool whilst celebrating their Premier League triumph.

Manchester City's players and staff will face no punishment for singing a chant that appeared to mock Liverpool on a plane journey back from Brighton.

In the chant, the City employees referenced Mo Salah and Liverpool fans, and one line that caused particular controversy seemed to be directed towards Sean Cox - the Liverpool fan who was brutally attacked by Roma fans after their Champions League quarter-final last season ("battered in the streets").

Despite this, the FA has decided not to sanction anyone involved, believing that no rules or regulations have been broken by the Premier League champions.
