Manchester City smash Chelsea: Club apologise for playing Madness’ ‘One Step Beyond’ at final whistle

You’ve just been thrashed 6-0 by a so-called Premier League rival and face a long journey home, so Man City playing Chelsea’s victory anthem at the Etihad probably stung.

The club have since apologised for playing Madness’ One Step Beyond, the song that can be heard at Stamford Bridge whenever the Blues beat a significant team. It was a final kick in the teeth for the beaten Londoners.

Senior City officials ordered the Madness song be cut short for what could be interpreted as an act of gloating, but the person in charge of the PA system is now a hero to many supporters.

The win moved City back to the top of the Premier League on goal difference and after the match Maurizio Sarri couldn’t bring himself to shake hands with opposite number Pep Guardiola.

Sarri, though, did apologise to Chelsea’s fans. “I am doing my best and I’m trying to get the players to do their best but at the moment I can only say sorry because in the last three away matches we played very badly,” he said.

@Louis_Beneventi Losing 6-0 is bad enough but when @ManCity play one step beyond at the end

Some didn’t see the funny side, though.

Man City playing one step beyond at the final whistle? That’s pretty much nonsense material. Even we wouldn’t play blue moon.

@ManCity One Step Beyond? Apologies are too late the damage has been done. I’m no @ChelseaFC fan but that was poor. Once again showing your lack of class.
