Micah Richards criticises Etihad boos during Man City vs Tottenham

Micah Richards believes the smattering of boos heard during Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur were 'not acceptable.'

City were sucker-punched into a 2-0 deficit at half-time, thanks to two goals inside three minutes from Dejan Kulusevski and Emerson Royal. The home side dominated much of the ball and created plenty of chances, but were shell-shocked when Ederson's risky pass to Rodri ended with Swedish winger Kulusevski stroking home on 44 minutes.

And when the Brazilian parried Harry Kane's shot in first-half injury time, the ball fell kindly to Royal who headed in a quick-fire second. Pep Guardiola's side looked on course for a third consecutive defeat across all competitions, points dropped at home to Spurs adding to a dismal week in which they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Southampton before Saturday's defeat at Manchester United.
