Gary Neville’s words come back to haunt him as Jamie Carragher taunts Man United after their dramatic late defeat at Chelsea

Jamie Carragher has taken to social media to make a hilarious dig at fellow Sky Sports colleague Gary Neville after Manchester United’s late collapse at Stamford Bridge. 

Cole Palmer netted an incredible 82-second brace, scoring the latest goal in Premier League history as Man United capitulated late on.

The Blues took a two-goal lead in the first half and looked in cruise control before a Moises Caicedo error saw Alejandro Garnacho mount the comeback.

Bruno Fernandes netted the goal to make it 2-2 before half-time, and Garnacho scored what looked to be the winner in the second half before Palmer’s incredible late brace.

Taking to X after the game, Carragher took a shot at Neville as he tweeted: ‘The billion pound bottle jobs!’ with a laughing emoji.

The dig was in reference to Neville’s comments about Chelsea after their Carabao Cup final defeat to Liverpool.

Speaking following what proved to be the decisive goal Neville gave a blunt appraisal of the two teams.

‘It’s Klopp’s kids against the blue billion pound bottlejobs. For Chelsea I’ve got no sympathy whatsoever,’ Neville said.

It wasn’t just Carragher that hit back at Neville on social media, with several football fans joining in.

 ‘Thoughts go out to @GNev2 for his Red Billion Pound bottlejobs,’ joked one Chelsea fan.

‘Red billion pound bottlejobs,’ wrote another with a picture of Mason Mount, who entered the field of play with his side winning before a late capitulation at his former home.

‘Billion pound bottlejobs with a game in hand are just 5 points behind Manchester United,’ pointed out another fan.  

Speaking after the match, Man United boss Erik ten Hag suggested that his side should have come out victorious.

‘We should have won this game,’ he said.

‘It’s a team performance. As a team, when it gets chaotic you have to deal with the circumstance. Keep the ball, go from one side to the other. It’s not a lack of concentration.

‘I think it was unlucky by the penalty situation. Questionable, very soft.’
