"This was the first live match for ITV and was presented by the ever–smiling Laura Woods. He has since returned to join Gary Lineker and co, remaining as one of the nation’s most beloved football pundits. Wright has also been a valued member of BBC’s flagship football show, but did leave towards the start of his own punditry career. The replies to this are horrible. He’s for a great record - 19 goals in 40 games, do the math and it’s a goal-a-game pretty much.” But Wright was equally swift to respond to the negativity, posting on social media: “I've made countless mistakes live on air.

Eni Aluko claimed Richarlison's 19 strikes in 40 Brazil appearances meant he had scored a goal every game.

He’s got 19 goals in 40 matches - you do the maths on that, it’s one goal a game.” “But some of you weirdo twitterati knew that already. “Got myself a First class law degree, 102 caps & a Doctorate but Maths wasn’t always my forte,” the ex-Chelsea forward laughed.
