Piers Morgan mocks Manchester City’s unbeaten run after Enzo Maresca’s record start
Morgan, an Arsenal supporter, criticised City’s celebrations of Enzo Maresca’s historic start, citing the club’s pending financial breach verdict.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Arsenal fan and TV personality Piers Morgan took to X on Monday to mock Manchester City after the club celebrated Italian manager Enzo Maresca’s seven‑game winning start in the Premier League. The praise came following City’s 3‑2 victory over Ipswich Town at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, where Phil Foden and a brace from Erling Haaland secured the win and extended City’s lead at the top of the table.
Morgan wrote, "Some humility wouldn’t go amiss given none of these wins will count by the end of this season," echoing his view that the club’s recent guilty verdict on 114 of 115 Premier League financial‑rule breaches will ultimately nullify the results. City have appealed the verdict and have not yet received a final sanction, leaving the exact penalty uncertain.
The win kept City six points clear of Arsenal, who must beat Nottingham Forest away to stay within striking distance. Arsenal and City are slated to meet for the first time in the league on 29 November at the Emirates Stadium. Morgan’s comment follows previous criticism of City’s conduct and highlights the ongoing debate over the impact of the financial case on the league standings.
