Gary Neville singled out the 'outstanding' Joe Gomez as his man of the match after Liverpool's 1-0 win at home to Manchester City.
The Reds got the better of a scintillating clash at Anfield, with Mohamed Salah's wonderful second-half run and finish the eventual winner. Prior to the Egyptian's goal, Phil Foden had a goal chalked off after a VAR review deemed Erling Haaland to have fouled Fabinho in the build-up.
Foden's disallowed goal lit the touch paper for a chaotic second-half in which Pep Guardiola riled up the Anfield crowd before Jurgen Klopp saw himself sent off for an aggressive altercation with the assistant referee. But amid all the chaos surrounding him, Gomez put up an incredible performance alongside Virgil van Dijk, effectively silencing Haaland for large parts of the game.

And towards the end of the match, Neville acknowledged the right side of Liverpool's defence in Gomez and James Milner, but picked the younger of the two as his man of the match.
"That’s my man of the match, Joe Gomez," Neville told Sky Sports live on commentary. "It could’ve went to James Milner but it’s going to him. He’s been outstanding at right centre-back, I’m sure City were looking to target before the game but he’s covered behind Milner, he’s made some brilliant interceptions himself."
City made a seemingly blatant ploy to focus much of their attacking down Liverpool's right, seeing the combination of Milner and Gomez as a potential weak spot. But both were outstanding throughout the 90 minutes.
