‘Insane timing’ – Gary Neville immediately made to eat his own words after calling out two Man City stars vs Liverpool

GARY NEVILLE inspired Manchester City’s equaliser against Liverpool that came out of nothing.

Pep Guardiola’s side had been losing 1-0 at Anfield as their Premier League title chances appeared to be slipping away.

Neville, speaking on commentary for Sky Sports, explained as City attacked: “City need something here.

“They need [Erling] Haaland, they need [Antoine] Semenyo], they need [Bernardo] Silva.

“And they need them to step up.”

Within seconds, a move which started with a cross from Rayan Cherki on the right wing ended with a goal.

Haaland latched onto a deflection, nodding it towards Silva to slide in and score.

Realising what he had just done, Neville quickly jumped in over Peter Drury’s commentary, saying: “They have!”

Drury added: “City have their equaliser. Bernardo Silva…sharply in to switch the dynamic again.”

One X user, picking up on the coincidence, wrote: “Gary Neville has insane timing”.
