Micah Richards slams Anthony Taylor decision after Man City goal disallowed vs Liverpool FC

Micah Richards has claimed that referee Anthony Taylor did not have "clear and obvious" grounds to disallow Phil Foden's goal at Anfield after being recommended to check the pitchside monitor.

The original decision to allow the goal was overturned when it appeared that Erling Haaland had pulled Fabinho to the ground in the build-up. Foden's disallowed strike came shortly before Liverpool took the lead as they secured a 1-0 win.

The referee was a pivotal figure in proceedings, with Jurgen Klopp sent off in the closing stages for dissent, and Taylor came under criticism from former City man Richards, with the Sky Sports pundit claiming that the referee should have stuck with his original decision.
