Many football fans were beginning to think that Liverpool would go the entire season unbeaten after winning 26 of their opening 27 fixtures and drawing the other.But in the 28th game of what has been a remarkable campaign for Jurgen Klopp’s side, they came unstuck away at relegation-threatened Watford on Saturday night.The Reds slumped to a shock 3-0 defeat, with Ismaila Sarr (2) and Troy Deeney scoring the goals for the home side at Vicarage Road.This was a result that virtually nobody saw coming. Fifty-five points separated the two sides prior to kick-off.Watford, who started the day 19th in the Premier League table, exceeded all expectations and were excellent value for their superb victory over the reigning European champions.Rival fans were having a whale of a team over on social media.Gary Neville, the former Manchester United captain-turned-Sky Sports pundit, was particularly happy over on social media.Shortly after the full-time whistle went, the retired defender posted this hilarious video…
Neville’s tweet has gone viral, receiving over 10,000 retweets and 40,000 ‘likes’ within the first 20 minutes. Seriously impressive numbers, that, Gary.
Earlier in the game, Neville tweeted another video in which he said: “Just got to London. They’re bottling it again!”
Neville’s tweets were clearly an attempt to antagonise his Sky Sports colleague Jamie Carragher.
And although Carragher resisted bitting back, the Liverpool legend did make the following image his new profile picture on Twitter…
Brilliant.
