England's biggest rivalry between Manchester United and Liverpool always carries over into other areas, no matter that it's a foreign game between them, simply the other's slip up will always give satisfaction to the opposition. In this case, Red's Devils legend Rio Ferdinand, who works with BT Sport, shouted out Scott Arfield's first - and only - Rangers FC goal from the broadcasting box.

The action shocked the Red's fans, who watched in disbelief as the commentator rejoiced at someone else's misfortune. Ferdinand, a former England player, shares the microphone with McCoist and another former footballer, Michael Owen, who paradoxically played for both clubs, first at Liverpool and then at Manchester United, following spells at Real Madrid and Newcastle United.

Rio Ferdinand's celebration was marked in the minds of Liverpool fans who were present in social networks, after the cascade of goals of the Red's that culminated in seven, leaving the legend as a real "clown", celebrating before time, without analyzing that the game had time left and anything could happen, especially when you have a team as big as Liverpool, winner of six times the Champions League.

After Scott Arfield's fifth goal of the season, Jürgen Klopp adjusted his lines and ordered Roberto Firmino to carry the Red's attack, a situation that the former TSG 1899 Hoffenheim player understood and scored a brace that meant his second consecutive game in the Premier League, as in the defeat against Arsenal, Bobby scored in what meant a momentary draw.

Liverpool's marathon schedule continues this weekend when they host Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday in a rivalry that has been a talking point in recent years, with the Merseyside outfit having won Pep Guardiola the FA Community Shield 2022 with an emphatic 3-1 win at Wembley at the end of July. And this potential win could catapult them into a better place in the table.
