Gary Neville's poked fun of Jamie Carragher's Premier League own-goal record as the Liverpool hero celebrates his 41st birthday.

Jamie Carragher turns 41 today - happy birthday lad - and Gary Neville has praised his defensive counterpart while throwing a hilarious dig.

A football Twitter account posted the following message about Carragher: "Where does @Carra23 rank amongst the best ever Premier League defenders?"

The Manchester United legend reacted by calling him 'one of the best' before thanking him for his own goals.

"He was one of the best . We couldn't do without his own goals at United !"

Brilliant. Carragher didn't responded with words, he just Retweeted Neville's post.

He weighed in with seven career own-goals in the Premier League. Only Richard Dunne has more - the ex-Manchester City defender bagged 10 own-goals during his career in England's top flight.

Carragher also reacted to the initial statement

"2nd behind VVD!" He wrote on Twitter. High praise for Liverpool's commanding Dutch defender.

The banter between Neville and Carragher is superb, and they're always on form on Monday Night Football but, unfortunately, there's no league games on tonight, though 'MNF' is back next Monday as league leaders Liverpool travel to West Ham United.
