😡🥶 Richard Keys Rages: “Sunderland Must Appeal After Clear Robbery”
Football pundit Richard Keys has slammed the refereeing decisions during Sunderland’s 1:1 draw with Aston Villa, calling it a “clear robbery” against the newly promoted side.
Keys was left furious after a controversial red card reduced Sunderland to ten men, insisting the same challenge had been treated differently in other matches.
“Look at Maguire last weekend – exact same situation, and he only got a yellow card,” Keys fumed on air. “So why is it a straight red for Sunderland? This is exactly what happens when you’re new to the Premier League. They would never do that to Liverpool or Manchester City.”
Despite the setback, Sunderland fought bravely and secured a hard-earned point against Unai Emery’s Villa. The match ended 1:1, with the Black Cats’ resilience drawing praise from fans, even as outrage over the officiating grew louder.
Keys urged Sunderland to take action:
“Appeal it. Don’t let this slide. They’ve been cheated today, simple as that. The Premier League must apply consistency, otherwise teams like Sunderland will always be on the wrong side of decisions.”
For Sunderland, the point feels like a victory given the circumstances, but the bigger talking point remains the refereeing. Supporters and pundits alike now wait to see if the club will launch a formal appeal.
