MANCHESTER UNITED legend Gary Neville could not resist trolling Liverpool’s supporters as the champions slipped to defeat against Brighton.
Jurgen Klopp’s side lost a second consecutive home game as they were shocked by the Seagulls at Anfield last night.
Steven Alzate’s second-half strike did the damage and left the title holders four points behind United and seven adrift of leaders Man City.
Liverpool had been on a miserable but appeared to have stopped the rot with back-to-back victories away at Tottenham and West Ham.
But despite dominating possession, they fell behind to relegation-threatened Brighton on 56 minutes and were unable to find a way back.
And just 24 hours after United reaffirmed their title credentials with a 9-0 thumping of Southampton, Neville could not resist winding up Kopites when Alzate struck.
He posted a video on Twitter of him appearing to be asleep but quickly awaking looking shocked when Brighton scored, along with a caption: “Eyes.”
It is not the first time he has found himself winding up Reds – with one incident even costing him ten grand.
Back in the 2006/07 campaign, he ran the entirety of the Old Trafford pitch to celebrate Rio Ferdinand’s late winner for United in front of the visiting Liverpool fans and repeatedly kissed his badge.
The former full-back received a £10,000 fine from the Fa for inciting supporters.

Since he joined Sky Sports and began working with Anfield legend Jamie Carragher the banter is not quite as serious.
The duo regularly take it in turns to mock each other when their respective teams suffer a loss.
But with United currently in the ascendancy, it’s Neville that is revelling the most at present.
