Man Utd Defeat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield Amid Neville Criticism

Gary Neville drew significant attention for his passionate and somewhat unprofessional commentary during Manchester United's 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Anfield, where he celebrated enthusiastically, drawing criticism from viewers who felt he forgot his role as a pundit. The match saw an early goal from Bryan Mbeumo, capitalizing on a defensive error involving Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, whom Neville severely criticized for poor positioning and a shaky performance, labeling him as having one of his worst games. Neville also disparaged Liverpool's young left-back Milos Kerkez, comparing his play unfavorably and suggesting he appeared inexperienced and unsettled since his transfer. The defeat marked a continued poor run for Liverpool, who have lost multiple games consecutively, dropping them to third in the Premier League behind Arsenal and Manchester City. Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim's Manchester United team secured back-to-back wins under his management, with Neville's critical insights highlighting Liverpool's defensive vulnerabilities and the impact of individual errors on the game's outcome. The commentary sparked debate about punditry professionalism and the scrutiny players face during high-profile matches.
