Anthony Gordon was on target for the Magpies, with his goal heavily contested by the Arsenal camp, who suggested it should not have stood.

According to The Mirror, Neville rubbed Gunners' supporters the wrong way by agreeing that Newcastle's controversial winning goal was correctly allowed.

The former England international went on to criticise the North London club for releasing a strongly-worded statement which slammed the supposed "errors."

Neville hits back at Arsenal fan

An enraged Arsenal fan went on to post on social media that Neville should be banned from setting foot at the Emirates Stadium alongside fellow pundit Jamie Carragher over their VAR comments.

"Arsenal should just tell Sky Sports that both Carragher & Neville are both banned from the Emirates. It's our property so we'll invite who we want inside it thank you very much," the supporter said.

Neville has now hit back at the suggestion by giving a brutal response to the fan with a reference to Tottenham Hotspur's impressive form. The former defender wrote on X:

"To be fair with Spurs top now we will be coming less anyway," Neville wrote alongside a winking emoji.
