Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher disagree with Micah Richards over Liverpool and Man City decision
Jamie Carragher got involved in a heated discussion with Micah Richards after Liverpool’s draw with Manchester City.
The Reds were held to a 2-2 draw with Man City in the Premier League, which leaves them one point adrift in the title race. Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane got the goals for Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium.
Kevin De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus scored the goals for the home side, but they thought for a few minutes they had a third.

One individual who believes Liverpool are fortunate to still be in with a shout of silverware is Gallagher, however, who took to Twitter after the full-time whistle to voice his frustration over the result.
