Gary Neville made another brutal remark on Sky Sports commentary during Spurs' thrilling 4-3 win over Manchester United in the Carabao Cup on Thursday night.

Neville is known for not pulling any punches when describing the action and has not been afraid to call out players in his 13-year punditry career.

In addition to his iconic goal noises, the Manchester United legend has produced a number of memorable soundbites and quotes. He has, however, expressed regret over some of the off-the-cuff lines he has delivered, namely branding David Luiz a "playstation player" and calling Chelsea "billion pound bottlejobs" in the 2024 Carabao Cup final defeat to Liverpool.

He also recently issued a public apology for his "harsh" treatment of Lorius Karis and contributing to his media pile-on by claiming Liverpool would never win the league with him in net.

But Neville still has it a cutting line in him and produced another about Fraser Forster on Thursday. With Spurs 3-0 up and cruising, the England goalkeeper gifted United a way back into the game with two mistakes in trying to play out from the back.

Joshua Zirkzee and Amad Diallo punished the former Celtic shotstopper, who became incredibly shaky in the second half. He then made the bizarre choice to save a long-range strike from Diallo with his feet in a chaotic period.

Neville, like many, was stunned by what he saw and after laughing in the gantry, said, "It's like when an outfield player goes in net after training".

Altay Bayindir gave Forster a run for his money with an erratic goalkeeping display of his own, including conceding directly from a Heung-Min Son corner.

Heung-Min Son leaps to Forster's defence

While Forster was hammered by pundits for his mistakes in overplaying, captain Son defended the goalkeeper - saying he has been "outstanding" in the absence of Guglielmo Vicario this season and promised to give him a "little cuddle".

"How many times he's saved us this season, I can't even count," Son told CBS Sports.

"He's been unbelievable, he's been outstanding.

"Even today, before we conceded a goal, he made a couple of good saves that are saving us. There's no doubt, we move on all together. He's an experienced player, so we move on together.

"I'm going to give him a little cuddle."

Spurs are back in action on Sunday when they host Premier League leaders Liverpool.
