# Liverpool: Fans mock Gary Neville’s reaction to Reds finishing third

**Some Liverpool supporters have been mocking Gary Neville after the Reds finished third in the Premier League following his reaction of surprise at their achievement.**

The Reds knew that a win would all but guarantee a top-four finish on Sunday, as Crystal Palace made the trip to Anfield with 10,000 fans present at the stadium. Jurgen Klopp’s men [got the job done](https://www.skysports.com/football/liverpool-vs-crystal-palace/report/429212) in professional fashion thanks to two goals from Sadio Mane in either half, and they even [ended up in third](https://www.skysports.com/premier-league-table) place when all was said and done.

Considering that Liverpool looked dead and buried in March, having [lost six league games in a row at home](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/56227460), it was a great effort by Klopp and his players to bounce back and finish best of the rest behind the two Manchester clubs.

Neville’s dislike for the Reds is well-known, given his previous with Manchester United down the years, as characterised by one [particularly dramatic celebration](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/manchester-united-news-gary-neville-reveals-infamous-badge-kissing-2006-liverpool-clash-was-absolutely-worth-ps10-000-fine-a7361121.html) at Old Trafford in a game between the two teams.

On Sunday, the [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/) pundit [revealed](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1396536163683471365?s=20) his shock at finding out live on air that Liverpool had actually finished third ahead of Chelsea and Leicester City, much to the hilarity of those around him.
