Manchester City fans have stood by Bernardo Silva after the winger refused to speak in his post-match interview with Sky Sports.

Silva was involved heavily throughout the defeat at Anfield, which now leaves the champions trailing Liverpool by nine points.

As the game got off to it's expected frantic start, a deflection off of Silva was seen to hit the hand of Trent Alexander-Arnold inside the penalty area.

This resulted in immediate protests from himself and Sergio Aguero, but both were ignored by referee Michael Oliver and the officials. To make matters worse, Fabinho would go onto score at the other end for the home side moments later, resulting in frenzied reactions from Pep Guardiola and his men.

After the game, Silva, who signed for the club for £43m in 2017, was asked by Sky Sports about the handball, to which he replied: "If I speak, I will be in trouble. I don't want to speak."

Just last month the Portugal international was charged with misconduct by the FA, after a tweet he sent to Benjamin Mendy, which the FA deemed a breach of FA Rule E3.

Now, it seems Silva is reluctant to talk about the potential handball situation, to which the City fans have got behind him.

One fan said it was a "clear and obvious" penalty, whilst many other supporters have alluded to the belief that the players are scared to talk now.
