Liverpool make Gary Neville look foolish after what he said about supporters during Man United game.
Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville thought he had the last laugh after Trent Alexander-Arnold’s goal was chalked off for Liverpool.
The Reds thought they were in front after just six minutes when goal-line technology ruled the full-back’s effort was over the line.
However, Mohamed Salah was adjudged to have been in an offside position and interfered with play from Luis Diaz’s cut-back. Alexander-Arnold wheeled away, re-enacting Steven Gerrard’s iconic Old Trafford celebration as he kissed the pitchside camera.
But the effort went to VAR, Liverpool were left disappointed by the decision and Alexander-Arnold’s Steven Gerrard-like celebration was left in vain.Sky Sports had a camera in the gantry for commentary with Jamie Carragher alongside his former rival, Neville.
The jubilation in the away end at Old Trafford was cut short and the 49-year-old couldn’t resist a quip.“Those Liverpool fans are singing loudly to our right, they’re going to disallow this goal, they’ll stop singing pretty quickly,” he said. But Arne Slot’s side answered back as they capitalised on two mistakes from experienced midfielder Casemiro.
The Brazilian first saw his pass cutout by Ryan Gravenberch before Diaz headed home from Mohamed Salah’s cross before on the stroke of half-time, the Colombian doubled his tally for the afternoon with a superb first-time effort.
Casemiro was dispossessed in midfield as Alexis Mac Allister retrieved possession, Salah faced up the full-back and fizzed a cut-back onto the six-yard box for Diaz to sweep home. Salah got in on the act before the hour mark as another United mistake was capitalised upon. Kobbie Mainoo was robbed of possession, Dominik Szoboszlai fed the Egyptian who powered home beyond Andre Onana.
Liverpool were looking to maintain their 100 percent record to begin life under the new head coach after wins over Ipswich Town and Brentford.
