Laura Woods left baffled and watches on confused as Rio Ferdinand and Martin Keown go full Gary Neville live on TNT


RIO FERDINAND and Martin Keown channelled their inner Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher to leave lonely Laura Woods all on her own.

The former centre-backs were on punditry duty at Villa Park on Tuesday night.

Aston Villa moved top of the Champions League league phase table with a 2-0 win at home to Bologna.

Jhon Duran grabbed the hosts’ second goal, turning home in smart fashion to find the bottom corner.

And while analysing the finish, Ferdinand and Keown went full Neville and Carragher as they walked off from the TNT Sports pitchside table to do a demonstration.

Keown even put his microphone down before taking up the new position.

That left presenter Woods awkwardly lurking solo in the background – watching on from afar as the two ex-defenders talked through marking a physical striker.

It is unclear if she knew what was about to unfold.

But the popular host took a quick glance to someone off camera and smiled before diverting her gaze back to the pundits.

And the funny scene had a similar feel to the famous Sky Sports moment in 2019.

Then, Kelly Cates asked Neville and Carragher a question before a Liverpool win at Southampton.

But as Nev started his response at St Mary’s, the pair headed off along the touchline as the camera carried on rolling.

The incident went viral online – and even prompted Cates to hilariously recreate the moment as she got her revenge on the partners-in-punditry-crime duo.

John McGinn got Villa’s opener ten minutes into the second half before Duran found the net on 64 minutes.

That ensured Unai Emery’s side are the only side on a maximum nine points with three wins from three in their Champions League debut to sit top of the 36-team table ahead of Wednesday’s fixtures.

Monaco, Sporting and Arsenal trail on seven points.

Like the Gunners, Villa are yet to concede – beating Bologna to back up their memorable wins over Young Boys and Bayern Munich.
