Micah Richards has revealed the 'truth' about Joleon Lescott's infamous 2016 car tweet.
Aston Villa defender Lescott infuriated fans after tweeting a photo of a £121,000 Mercedes following a 6-0 thrashing against Liverpool with no caption or context.
He then drew mockery for insisting his phone accidentally tweeted the picture from his pocket - a version of events he maintains to this day.
Lescott apologised to fans after Villa's 'lack of commitment' in the home drubbing, with the club bottom of the league, but has never deserted his stance.
In the anniversary month of the tweet, ex-team-mate Richards has leapt to his defence.
