Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra sent social media into a frenzy yesterday afternoon after appearing to check Graeme Souness's drink during Sky’s live coverage.
The two clashed during the half-time interval of United’s game against Liverpool over Roberto Firmino’s disallowed goal.
Liverpool were already leading 1-0 thanks to Virgil van Dijk’s header when the Brazilian thought he had made it 2-0 with a fine finish from the edge of the box.
But following a VAR review, the goal was chalked off due to a foul in the build-up on David de Gea from Van Dijk.
“It's a foul. With his head he's touching De Gea's arm,” Evra told Souness during Sky’s half-time analysis.
Before Souness hit-back saying: "If your starting position is that a goalkeeper cannot be touched, then that is a foul. But that is not the rule, he has gone for it as fairly as he could.
"Under no circumstances is that a foul, under no circumstances.
"They talk about VAR as some sort of magnificent computer that's perfect in every way, it's human error and they don't know what they're doing.
"That's the bottom line, they don't know what they're doing, ask a football person, it's laughable."
Following the former Liverpool man’s rant, Evra picked up the Scot’s glass and appeared to check what he was drinking due to his views.
Jurgen Klopp’s side would eventually add a second late on to maintain their unbeaten start to their Premier League season and take another step closer to claiming their first title in 30-years.
United remain in fifth in the Premier League table, five points behind Chelsea who occupy the final Champions League place.
