Joking Gold ‘compliments’ Reid

Joking David Gold has had a little fun at Winston Reid’s expense.

The central defender set the Irons on their way with a close-in goal at Upton Park against Liverpool.

He finished  off a fine free kick from Stewart Downing and far post header into the area from James Tomkins.

And Gold – in a humorous aside – let his admiration show on Twitter after watching the effort again.

Gold had earlier tweeted that the display against Brendan Rodgers’ side was the best all round performance he had seen since himself and David Sullivan had taken charge at the club.

And he declared: “Just watched the game again, Winston Read is absolutely deadly from 15 inches! dg
