Gary Neville's reaction to Amad Diallo's equaliser speaks volumes as Sky Sports release commentary box footage

Gary Neville could not contain his excitement in the Anfield commentary box after Amad Diallo scored a late equaliser for Manchester United in their 2-2 draw against Liverpool.

Liverpool missed the chance to go eight points clear at the Premier League summit on Sunday as Ruben Amorim's side produced one of their best performances of the season so far.

After a wonderful strike from Lisandro Martinez gave United a surprise lead, goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah put Liverpool in the driving seat with 20 minutes remaining.

But the in-form Amad Diallo, who has been United's standout performer in recent weeks, earned the visitors a well-earned point as Gary Neville expressed his delight in the Anfield commentary box.

As you can see from the footage below, Diallo's effort led the former defender to scream into the camera as Jamie Carragher pointed towards the pitch. He then can be heard saying: "Get in!" before dropping an expletive.

Neville can also be seen reacting to Harry Maguire's last-gasp miss.

"Oh, my god! I can’t believe it," the former United right-back said. "It may just be offside but Harry Maguire wasn’t to know that. It’s bobbled into him, to be fair, he’s got a bit of work to do to control it, it’s halfway up his shin and that’s it."

After the full-time whistle, Neville was full of praise for Amorim's side as they moved up to 13th in the league table.

"It's the best performance I think under Ruben Amorim, maybe all season by a mile," he told Sky Sports. "To come to Anfield, the best team in the league this year surpasses that victory at (Manchester) City the other week.

"City were in a bad moment and the way the game went, they were a little fortunate to get the victory. I thought United today were magnificent from minute one. They fully deserved (the draw).

"We were expecting the worst. There's no Manchester United fan that woke up in the morning and wasn't thinking the worst will happen today.

"I thought (Kobbie) Mainoo, (Manuel) Ugarte and (Bruno Fernandes) controlled the midfield and (Ryan) Gravenberch, Curtis Jones and (Alexis) Mac Allister have been outstanding this season, they've overrun teams and I thought they really did well those three".
