Jamie Carragher issues one-word response to Gary Neville after flurry of Liverpool tweets

Jamie Carragher has labelled Gary Neville "obsessed" after the former Manchester United defender a flurry of tweets during Liverpool's 1-0 win over Brentford.

Mohamed Salah was the match-winner again as he marked a historic day in his Reds career. The Egyptian's first-half strike saw him overtake Robbie Fowler to become the only player to score in nine consecutive games in at Anfield as well as moving level with Steven Gerrard in the club's all-time top goalscorers list.

The triumph saw Jurgen Klopp's side extend their winning run to an impressive six games as they applied further pressure on Man United in the hunt for Champions League qualification.

Throughout the encounter, which saw the Bees come close through Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo's offside effort, Neville was active on Twitter expressing his thoughts on Liverpool.

Just before kick-off, he labelled the visit of Thomas Frank's side as a 'must-win' before making further claims on the impending transfer business on Merseyside. "Liverpool with no Bellingham but get Mac Allister? That enough to get back in CL places? £80m," he added.

His thoughts on the Reds' pursuit of World Cup-winning midfielder Alexis Mac Allister sparked a response from his Sky Sports colleague and former England team-mate. Carragher hit back: "Obsessed!!!!"

Neville wasn't done there as he warned Liverpool boss Klopp that missing out on Champions League football could hamper their plans in the summer. He said: "Klopp needs to rebuild an ageing squad but no CL is a lot of money lost and they don’t just need 1 or 2!"

United squandered an opportunity to put daylight between themselves and Liverpool in midweek as Mac Allister sent David de Gea the wrong way from the penalty spot to hand Brighton & Hove Albion a last-gasp 1-0 victory.

The Red Devils, who head to West Ham United tonight (7pm), are now just one point above Liverpool.
