Micah Richards Fires Back at Manchester City Fan Account Over Comments on Controversial Goal
Micah Richards has swiftly responded to a critical Manchester City fan account following remarks made during the club’s recent Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers. After an early setback, City managed to stage a comeback and secure a victory against Wolves at the Molineux Stadium on Sunday.
The match saw Jorgen Strand Larsen scoring first for the hosts, only to be equalized by City defender Josko Gvardiol before half-time. A last-minute header from John Stones eventually sealed the win for City, though not without its share of controversy regarding the goal’s validity.
In the aftermath of the match, a fan account questioned Richards’ comments made on Sky Sports, insinuating he was biased to preserve his position at the network. Displeased by the doubt cast on his integrity, Richards immediately refuted the claim, emphasizing that the decision to allow Stones’ goal was correct. He reiterated his stance on why he felt the goal should stand based on the specifics of the play.
The goal in question, initially disallowed due to Bernardo Silva’s offside positioning and contact with Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa, was later overturned after a VAR review. The outcome handed City a crucial victory, temporarily propelling them to the top of the Premier League table until Liverpool climbed back with a win against Chelsea.
Despite the disappointment for Wolves, who came close to securing a remarkable result against the reigning champions, City and Richards stood firm in defense of their performance and decisions made during the match.
