‘It’s rubbish from him’ – Gary Neville fumes as Paul Pogba commits blatant handball and pretends ball hit his face
Gary Neville was raging after a moment of madness from Paul Pogba saw Manchester United go a goal down in their 1-1 draw with West Ham.
With a fierce strike destined for his face, Pogba batted the ball away with his arms in the box before pretending the ball struck his head.
Michail Antonio duly converted the penalty, dealing a potential hammer blow to the Red Devils' hopes of securing a top-four finish.
And Neville, the Man United legend commentating for Sky Sports, could not contain his dismay.
“He's given a penalty away and then pretended it's hit his head. It's rubbish from him. Rubbish,” said the United legend.
“I felt sorry for him, I felt he took a whack in the head. Embarrassing.
“A no-brainer. It' a penalty.
You don't do that, you take it in your grid.
“Forget the fact it's an appalling lack of discipline from Paul Pogba, West Ham have been the better side for the past 15 minutes.”
Mason Greenwood equalised and the draw takes Man United above Chelsea and Leicester into third.
But Chelsea have a game in hand, and the Foxes travel to Old Trafford on the final day.
