Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville says he 'respected' the way Villarreal played at Anfield following the 2-0 defeat to Liverpool on Wednesday night.
The Reds secured a crucial win in the first leg of their semi-final clash, following a deflected effort from Jordan Henderson and a Sadio Mane goal. The second leg takes place on Tuesday at El Madrigal with a place in the final at stake.
Unai Emery's side aren't the first team to come to Anfield and sit deep in hope of keeping Liverpool 's forwards quiet, but former Manchester United defender Neville has defended the approach.
