MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - A banner reading "Premier League = Corrupt" was flown in protest over the Etihad Stadium on Saturday during Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Liverpool.

Everton supporters group 1878s tweeted a video of the banner before the plane took flight. The banner was flown after the Merseyside club were handed a 10-point deduction last week for breaching Premier Leagues profitability and sustainability rules.
