Manchester United legend Gary Neville trolls Liverpool FC after unbeaten run ends against Watford

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has taken the opportunity to poke fun at fierce rivals Liverpool after they lost for the first time in the Premier League this season.

Liverpool had been on an unbelievable unbeaten run that stretched back to last season for a total of 44, which has seen them race ahead in the Premier League table - and they still sit 22 points clear, though having played a game more.

Despite losing in the Carabao Cup and the Champions League, Liverpool had gone 27 Premier League games unbeaten this campaign until they met relegation threatened Watford on Saturday evening.

The Hornets put in a brilliant performance and were well worth a 3-0 win, courtesy of a double from Ismaila Sarr and a Troy Deeney strike, which could have been even more.

There hasn't been much to laugh at Liverpool for this season, but Neville wasn't going to let this opportunity go by and he quickly took advantage of their defeat.

The former right-back posted a video on Twitter while the score was still 2-0 and joked that the Reds were bottling the title.

"Just got to London and they're bottling it again," he former right-back said.

Neville would then take it a step further after the game by posting another video, and in this one he simply opened a bottle of champagne with a beaming smile across his face.

Despite the defeat, Liverpool maintain a significant lead at the top of the table and it would take an extraordinary turn of events for them not to win the Premier League for the first time in their history, and their first league title for 30 years.
