Gary Neville tried his best to sneak out of Anfield before Liverpool's title celebrations began, although one Reds legend spotted him trying to make a quick escape

A cruel and unusual punishment for Gary Neville, whose employers compelled him to be at Anfield many hours before kick-off, where he was put to the wheel for a long stint of pre-match scene-setting on Sky Sports News.

Gary Neville says he was ‘abused’ and ‘snapped at’ a couple of Liverpool fans as he tried to make a hasty getaway before Arne Slot’s men celebrated their Premier League title triumph on Sunday. The Reds cruised to a resounding 5-1 victory over Tottenham to clinch the title with four games to spare – an achievement that puts the club level with bitter rivals Manchester United on 20 league titles.
