Sky Sports have confirmed on their website that the former United captain and City right-back have given statements to the police. In a statement, a spokesperson for the company said: \u201cWe understand the police are investigating an alleged assault by a member of the public immediately preceding the footage circulating on social media. <\/p>\n
\u201cIn the footage seen, Micah Richards was acting to diffuse a situation.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the pitch, it was Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus\u2019s injury-time goals that secured a dramatic 3-1 victory for Mikel Arteta\u2019s side against United. Arsenal conceded the game\u2019s opening goal courtesy of Marcus Rashford\u2019s curling effort but hit back less than two minutes later when Martin Odegaard swept home from the edge of the box. <\/p>\n
In the second half, Kai Havertz thought he had won a penalty after a challenge from Aaron Wan-Bissaka, only for the decision to be overturned after a VAR check. Erik ten Hag\u2019s side then thought they had won the game late on when Alejandro Garnacho slotted home in the 87 minute.<\/p>\n
In a second contentious VAR decision, the Argentine\u2019s goal was ruled out for offside before Rice secured the win for Arsenal with a deflected effort from a corner and his first goal for the club. Deep into injury time, the returning Jesus would add a third with a composed finish on the break.<\/p>\n
