Micah Richards fumes as he explains why Man United goal vs Man City should have been disallowed

Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards has suggested the officials made a "shocking decision" to allow Bruno Fernandes' goal to stand in the Manchester derby on Saturday.

Erik ten Hag's side secured a 2-1 win over the Blues at Old Trafford, with Fernandes and Marcus Rashford on target for the home side after Jack Grealish had opened the scoring for City. While United's first goal was initially disallowed by the linesman, it was eventually awarded.

Rashford was behind the last City defender when he looked to run onto a through ball from Casemiro, but the England international opted to leave it to Fernandes - who had arrived from deep - who stroked his effort past Ederson to level proceedings.
