Arsenal fans love Gary Neville's reaction to Eddie Nketiah goal in major Manchester United win

Arsenal fans took time to poke fun at former Manchester United defender and pundit Gary Neville following his old side's loss to the Gunners on Sunday afternoon. The North London side registered a huge 3-2 win over the Red Devils at the Emirates Stadium in a throwback clash between the rivals.

A double from Eddie Nketiah and a long-range strike from Bukayo Saka cancelled out Marcus Rashford and Lisandro Martinez's finishes. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta praised his side's bouncebackability, having gone behind early on and then being pegged back later in the clash.

"We came back 2-1 and it was exactly what happened at Old Trafford," The manager told the media after the victory. "We were in control and they scored. It was a moment where if emotionally you’re not ready you’re going to lose it."

The late winner from Nketiah evoked plenty of emotions once it was cleared by VAR for an offside shout, with Oleksandr Zinchenko showing plenty of passion in his celebration. However, those of a Manchester United persuasion were naturally more upset than the home side.

One of those seen reacting to the late goal was Neville, who has upset a few Arsenal fans with some of his claims against the side, who continue to prove him wrong.

"I think Man City will win the league," Neville said on Sky Sports after the clash. "I think, at the point in the season Arsenal will lose one or two matches and Man City will be right at their shoulders. It will become very difficult for them."

Fans circulated the image of the former full-back reacting to the goal, with one fan saying: "This makes me so happy."
