Gary Neville slams Alexis Mac Allister after Liverpool red card call and says 'well done VAR'

Neville criticized Mac Allister's reaction to contact from Madueke during the Arsenal clash, calling his dive 'embarrassing' and praising VAR for not issuing a red card.

Gary Neville has criticized Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister following an altercation with Arsenal players during their recent match. The incident began when Mac Allister tapped Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard on the head, prompting a confrontation with Jurrien Timber and Noni Madueke. When Madueke made contact with Mac Allister, the Liverpool midfielder went down heavily.

Neville was unimpressed with Mac Allister's reaction, describing it as 'embarrassing' and 'over the top'. He acknowledged that Mac Allister's initial tap on Odegaard was unnecessary but felt the midfielder's dramatic fall was an overreaction. Neville praised VAR for recognizing the dive and not issuing a red card for the incident, suggesting the officials correctly identified that Mac Allister's reaction did not warrant a sending-off.
