Football fans are all talking about Gary Neville’s comment during the north London derby as the former Man United star has walked back his comments about Richarlison.
The Brazilian collided with teammate Gabriel, with Neville speaking out too early about his reaction.
On first viewing, it appeared the Spurs striker had headbutted Gabriel and Neville reacted to the incident live.
He said, “He screwed it up.” He has to go!
Neville was then given the chance to watch a replay of the incident, while saying: “He books it, surely?” No, he doesn’t. It’s his shoulder.
Football fans are all talking about Gary Neville’s comment during the north London derby.
Richarlison collided with his Brazilian teammate Gabriel in the final moments of the match.
Arsenal dominated the first half at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, going into the break 3-0.
Goals from Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz followed an own goal from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
However, Spurs hit back in the second half as Cristian Romero and Son gave them a lifeline.
They were scared for a moment when Richarlison collided with Gabriel, Neville’s reaction no doubt making them even more scared.
Fans took to social media to react to the hilarious moment, as some said it looked like Neville was watching from the pub.
“Gary Neville is going through an emotional rollercoaster commenting here, it’s like he’s in a pub reacting to it all,” one joked.
Other fans were furious at the decision, believing Neville was correct in his initial assessment.
“This should be a warning to Richarlison,” said another spectator.
“From the kick-off, he attacks Gabriel. It’s not football.
A final fan thought Richarlison had bad intentions with his challenge and should have been read.
They wrote: “This is a red card for Richarlison, what is the intention there other than hurting the opponent?”
Richarlison, however, remained on the pitch as the north London derby ended with Arsenal emerging narrowly victorious in the entertaining affair.
The Gunners hope they can win their remaining three matches and claim the Premier League title at the end of the season.
