      Daniel Sturridge suffers wardrobe malfunction live on Sky Sports during Chelsea’s defeat to Man City

      by

      DANIEL STURRIDGE’S outfit was one of the talking points of the weekend.The return of the Premier League brought the usual VAR complaints and late drama.Daniel Sturridge was on Sky for Chelsea TottenhamErling Haaland took aim at Micah Richards’ outfitCredit: YouTubeSturridge was a fan of the digCredit: YouTubeIt also brought banter on Sky Sports, with Micah Richards branded the “fashion police” by Sturridge after making fun of Jamie Redknapp’s outfit.The retired ex-Liverpool and Tottenham midfielder was dressed in a shirt and blazer with some cream-coloured trousers.Richards, 36, said: “Can I ask what you have come as today? You look like you have just come off a boat.”Redknapp then replied: “Listen, don’t you start at me, I am the lead singer of this boyband.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL”What you come as?”Sturridge then joined in by saying: “Yacht baby, yacht.”To which, Richards joked: “Are you keeping those sunglasses on all day?”Sturridge then hit out: “What are you, the fashion police?”Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSThe ex-Liverpool striker was wearing a grey shirt over a white crew neck.And Richards later revealed on the Rest is Football podcast that Sturridge had broken one of his buttons while live on Sky Sports. Micah Richards explains awkward exchange with Erling Haaland live on Sky Sports after Man City’s win over ChelseaHe also told Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer that Erling Haaland had made fun of his own choice – a blue shirt with two front pockets.Sky Sports will be at the King Power Stadium tonight as Leicester host Tottenham.Dominic Solanke is in line for a debut after his £65million move.Chelsea ratings vs Man CityCHELSEA began life under new boss Enzo Maresca with a 2-0 home defeat to champions Manchester City.Here’s how SunSport’s Lloyd Canfield rated the Chelsea lot as the season didn’t begin how they wanted.Robert Sanchez – 4/10Distribution-wise, it’s not good enough; that said, he made an absolutely fantastic save to deny a deflected effort from Jeremy Doku in the first half. Similarly in the second half, made a routine save to deny Erling Haaland before getting a hand to Mateo Kovacic’s shot, but failed to stop it rattling the back of the net.Malo Gusto – 5It’s more of the impressive attitude we saw last season from the flying Frenchman, but today, he couldn’t stamp his mark on the game at all going forward. We certainly see more of his best qualities in the game where Chelsea have more of the ball, he should grow into the season nicely over the next few games. Wesley Fofana – 5He didn’t look out of his depth in his first Premier League game for Chelsea for over a year, and despite conceding, it was a decent performance to build on in the coming games. Did well physically against Haaland in fairness, and made it through the 90 minutes unscathed which will please Chelsea fans in some capacity.Levi Colwill – 5Tough day at the office against physicality personified in Erling Haaland.Did play the ball well out from the back for Chelsea with a few good blocks and tackles. But much the same as with Wesley Fofana, there is room for growth into the season with easier fixtures upcoming, particularly where Chelsea will dominate on the ball.  Marc Cucurella  – 6Forced Jeremy Doku into a change of wing in the first half after winning a tough battle against the Belgian winger, and stepped into challenges well for the most part.Was solid again in the second half before going off with an injury. Romeo Lavia – 6He looked like a calming presence in the Chelsea midfield when he did get the ball and he broke up play pretty well for a player who has been out through injury for so long. Continued his good pre-season form and is deserving of a run  in the side. Moises Caicedo – 5A similar performance really to the aforementioned Lavia, but was one of Chelsea’s better progressors of the ball when they did get forwards and showed some nice touches in the middle of the park.Fans will be left wondering whether he, Lavia and Enzo Fernandez fit into the same midfield.Enzo Fernandez – 5A mixed performance from the Argentine midfielder who showed promise in spells, but it really wasn’t the level you would expect of a player with his price tag.This could have been a huge game for the Chelsea captain for the day, but he failed to really stamp his mark on it in comparison to the player whom he replaced, Mateo Kovacic.Christopher Nkunku – 4Enzo Maresca seemed to want him playing as a touchline winger, but the forward looks far more comfortable in the middle of the pitch.He was the first player to be hooked in the second half and was replaced by Pedro Neto, who looked more at home wide on the left-hand side.Cole Palmer – 5It was far from the electric performance which saw him scoop heaps of praise last season. He still did show glimpses going forward, but he just failed to impact the game in the ways he did last time around.  Nicolas Jackson – 4New season, same old Nicolas Jackson.A great run in the first half was let down by a pea-roller of a shot into a Man City defender, before he hit the back of the net only to see the official’s flag raised on the far side. I’m sorry Nic Jackson, but it’s a four for you this time round…SUBS:Pedro Neto (Nkunku, 58) – 5Not the kind of debut that got fans out of their seats, but with The Blues failing to really get him on the ball there was little to take note of.Marc Guiu  (Jackson, 66) – 5Less impactful than Nicolas Jackson, but in considerably less time.For a player who can dominate physically, he looked a little intimidated by the Manchester City defence and wasn’t really presented with any chances.Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Lavia, 67) – 5Many Chelsea fans were disappointed to see Romeo Lavia come off after a good performance, and Dewsbury-Hall failed to add any of the attacking prowess we saw in the Championship last season.Renato Veiga  (Cucurella, 80) – 5He didn’t have enough time to impact the game after replacing Marc Cucurella, who had more time to establish himself as one of Chelsea’s better performers.  More

Nothing comes overnight in boxing.”Simpson first caught our eye when he walked into a show as a VIP fan wearing an outrageous pink and furry jacket and sunglasses.It looked like he was the latest boxer to full victim to the glitz-and-glamour charade that ruins so many young talents.I know exactly what one you mean and I only wore it because I had just bought in Milan – and that sounds posh but it was only in H&M over there!Callum SimpsonCallum Simpson looked the part when he met Kano in his pink jumperCredit: https://www.instagram.com/callumsimp/But he put us right perfectly, explaining: “I know exactly what one you mean and I only wore it because I had just bought in Milan – and that sounds posh but it was only in H&M over there!“I love fashion and clothes, I have always worked in it too.
