Watch Gary Neville celebrate wildly as Salford team he OWNS beat bitter rivals Leeds as fans fume at Sky Sports decision
GARY NEVILLE celebrated wildly while commentating on Salford’s win over Leeds.
The League Two Ammies beat Leeds 9-8 on penalties after the match ended 1-1 after 90 minutes.
And Salford co-owner Neville got a little carried away as he watched his side produced a giant-killing to progress to the Carabao Cup third round.
He cheered when Matt Smith headed Salford in front, with Sky Sports cameras also picking up his beaming smile after Jamie Shackleton missed from the spot to send Salford through.
Neville pumped his fist at full-time and his reactions throughout the match annoyed fans who wanted neutral commentary.
One fan said: “How is this fair to the people who pay Sky for unbiased commentary? Sky are joke.”
Another added: “Nice to see fair, unbiased commentary on Sky again today.”
A third wrote: “Why is Gary Neville commentating?”
And another commented: “Never have the owner of a football club on commentary again.”
Fellow Salford co-owners Roy Keane and Nicky Butt were also at the Peninsula Stadium to watch Salford’s famous win.
