Within seconds of Roberto Firmino putting Liverpool were 3-0 up last night, Neville sent out a tweet saying "3-3 this!"

A former international and right back and two-time Champions League winner, the 42-year-old nailed his prediction out of the blue, as Sevilla clawed back the 3-0 deficit to draw 3-3 at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.

And Neville got his fair share of stick from Reds fans, who he goaded several times when playing for fierce rivals United.

Some fans ironically trolled Neville for being a "Spanish football expert" - making reference to his failed stint as Valencia manager.

Another told Neville his "desperation is so amusing" just seconds after his tweet, while another said: "Remember when Nev was a manager that went well."

But of course the eight-time Premier League winner had the last laugh.

And in the wake of Pizrro's leveller, all the players sprinted over to their boss Berizzo to celebrate.

Cue hoards of Manchester United fans trolling their Liverpool rivals back.

Some Reds fans held their hands up over their initial banter.

One said: "Hasn't gone well for me has it... Ah well. Happens doesn't it. Hold my hands up to it though."
