BT Sport pundit Jermaine Jenas has claimed that Matt Ritchie’s post match interview following Newcastle United’s win over Manchester City sent a message to owner Mike Ashley.
The Scottish International scored the winning penalty as Newcastle dealt a blow to Manchester City’s title hopes by beating them 2-1 at St. James' Park on Tuesday. Man City took an early lead through Sergio Agüero before Salomon Rondon and the Ritchie secured the three points for the Magpies.
Jenas told BT Sport during the live coverage of the game (via HITC) that Matt Ritchie had aimed his interview towards Mike Ashley’s lack of spending at Newcastle this month.
