Micah Richards names Man City 'vulnerability' after thrilling draw at Newcastle United
22.08.2022 - 10:25 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Micah Richards has named Manchester City's vulnerability as they drew 3-3 with Newcastle United at St James' Park.
Ilkay Gundogan had given the Blues the lead in the north west inside five minutes but things would soon take a turn for the worst before the half-time whistle. Miguel Almiron and Callum Wilson both found the back of the net for Eddie Howe's men to give Newcastle the advantage.
That advantage was extended after the break as Kieran Trippier fired home a free-kick to make it three. Erling Haaland got City back into the game on the hour mark with a sharp strike at the near post.

Bernardo Silva would then rescue a point for the Blues four minutes later after breaking the offside trap. After the game, former City defender Richards was critical of City's performance.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he explained: "Man City, we always talk about their vulnerability from the counter. [Allan] Saint-Maximin on the counter-attack today was absolutely excellent.
"Sometimes it was sloppy from some of the players, little bit of playing within themselves. Come to St James’ Park and thought they could play their normal game.
"Massive gaps and Newcastle fully deserve something from this match today. Going forward, two goals down to come back [shows] fighting spirit and their character.
"But when you analyse the goals, they’ll be very disappointed." City's draw means they finish the weekend second in the Premier League, two points behind Arsenal who still have a flawless record this campaign.
