Gary Neville mocks himself after tweet of him laughing at Liverpool falling two goals down at Villarreal backfires following the Reds storming Champions League comeback

Gary Neville was left red-faced on Tuesday night after an effort to mock Liverpool's poor start in their Champions League tie at Villarreal spectacularly backfired.

Liverpool looked to have already had one foot in another European final having strolled to a 2-0 first leg lead at Anfield, leaving them heavy favourites to complete the job in Spain.

But the Reds were left stunned when first half goals from Boulaye Dia and Francis Coquelin pulled the side from LaLiga level at the break.

Neville, who spent his entire senior career at Liverpool's bitter rivals Manchester United between 1992 and 2011, could barely contain his delight as he posted a short clip of himself on Twitter trying to hold back his laughter while also looking stunned as he sipped red wine.
