PREMIER LEAGUE How TV star convinced Boehly to rehire Lampard as Chelsea manager
Lampard’s return was, however, spoiled after they were defeated at Wolves.
Micah Richards, a former defender for Manchester City, has given Anthony Gordon his support in putting the incident behind him. Eddie Howe instantly dismissed it after the game.
Micah Richards backs Gordon
Richards compared the event to the time he responded adversely to being hooked by Stuart Pearce for Manchester City in his blog for the Mail Online. He wrote, “I saw a video on social media of Anthony Gordon reacting badly to being substituted during Newcastle’s win at Brentford.
“It wasn’t a good look, by any means. What he did took me back to my early days when Stuart Pearce once substituted me during a game at Reading.

PREMIER LEAGUE ‘Absolutely idiotic from Xhaka’ – Arsenal star blamed for helping Liverpool comeback
The midfielder’s confrontation with Alexander-Arnold has been linked with the Reds’ fight back.
“I flung my shirt on the floor in temper. Stuart saw it and said: ‘Don’t ever do that again. I’m the manager. I make the decisions for this team — not you.’ The penny dropped and we got over it, quickly.
“I like Gordon and think he has potential. He can put this behind him.”
The Gordon incident has been a subject of bias interpretation
The 34 years old claims that Gordon’s incident in the Brentford game has been a subject of misinterpretation.
For me, “Gordon’s reaction was one of those things that could be interpreted either way depending on your bias. Personally, I saw a passionate player who wanted to see out the game on the pitch with his team-mates. Others will see a petulant little brat, which is exactly how I’d have seen it were he still an Everton player.

Ian Wright disagrees with Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville’s comment on Granit Xhaka
Granit Xhaka and Trent Alexander-Arnold got into a fight as Merseyside fans were angered during Arsenal’s dominating moment at Anfield.
“If I was Eddie Howe I’d be happy to see that reaction, it shows that he wants to fight for his place, fight for the team. Granted, there are other ways to show that passion and it’s never a good idea to get in the face of your manager, especially out on the pitch in front of everybody.
“I’m sure both parties will have forgotten about it and moved by the time they show up for training. As for Micah Richards, maybe picking a fight with “Psycho” Stuart Pearce wasn’t his best move.”
