And Salford co-owner Neville got a little carried away as he watched his side produced a giant-killing to progress to the Carabao Cup third round.

He cheered when Matt Smith headed Salford in front, with Sky Sports cameras also picking up his beaming smile after Jamie Shackleton missed from the spot to send Salford through.

Neville pumped his fist at full-time and his reactions throughout the match annoyed fans who wanted neutral commentary.

One fan said: "How is this fair to the people who pay Sky for unbiased commentary? Sky are joke."
