Neville’s Derby Day Gaffe Leaves Fans in Stitches After Fiery North London Clash

Arsenal emerged victorious in a thrilling 3-2 North London Derby win over Tottenham Hotspur, keeping their Premier League title dreams alive. The match also saw a hilarious on-air mishap from Manchester United legend Gary Neville.

The Gunners dominated the first half, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s own goal, a strike from Bukayo Saka, and a Kai Havertz goal putting them firmly in control. Spurs fought back valiantly in the second half with goals from Cristian Romero and Son Heung-min (penalty), but it wasn’t enough to overturn the first-half deficit.

Adding spice to the fiery derby was a moment of controversy involving Brazilian duo Richarlison and Gabriel. Neville, on commentary duty, believed Richarlison had headbutted the Arsenal defender in an off-the-ball challenge. He emphatically declared, “Oh, he’s butted him. He’s got to go off. He has got to go!”

However, replays revealed the truth. Neville, caught in the heat of the moment, had to sheepishly backtrack. “It’s a shoulder,” he admitted, according to Football.London.

This moment of confusion perfectly captures the drama and intensity of the North London Derby. While Arsenal celebrated a crucial win, Neville’s on-air blunder provided a lighter moment for fans to enjoy.
