Gareth Barry unsure of Manchester City goal against Reading

Barry unsure of Man City goal

Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry has admitted that he was a little fortunate to have his winning goal against Reading allowed by referee Mike Dean.

Barry headed home from eight yards in stoppage time at the Etihad Stadium, but the Royals players complained that Nicky Shorey had been fouled in the build-up to the goal.

"I haven't seen it again," Barry told BBC Sport. "Shorey was just standing there and I got over the top of him.

"The lads in the dressing room were saying it was possibly a foul, but I'm delighted the referee did not see it as a foul. I will have to see it again to make my own mind up."

Prior to today, Barry's last senior goal came in August 2011.
