Noel Gallagher was invited to the Sky Sports studio to watch Manchester United take on his beloved Manchester City on Sunday - something everyone was looking forward to apart from Gary Neville.

Unlike Liverpool legend Graeme Souness, who had little invested interest in the game, Neville was desperate for his former side to win.

But unfortunately for the ex-Red Devils right-back, seeing United come out on top was always going to be a tall order given the brilliance of Man City.

While Sky Sports ensured all the action down on the pitch was being captured, what with Spidercam whizzing about above the heads of the stars below, its cameramen also managed to capture the excitement inside the studio.

David Silva broke the deadlock for the away side after he fired past David De Gea from close range, and the away end at Old Trafford erupted.

Meanwhile, upstairs in the studio, Gallagher jumped to his feet and held his hands out in the air as if he was back on stage at Knebworth.

Neville, on the other hand, refused to turn around and face the camera, but could be seen shaking his head in frustration.

Moments before half-time Marcus Rashford levelled for the Red Devils, and it was Neville's turn to gloat.

The former England international turned around in his chair and clapped the effort while Gallagher looked on in disappointment.

After the break Nicolas Otamendi won the match for the Citizens, prompting Gallagher to leap off his seat once more. Neville could be seen eating sweets as a distraction.

Eventually Michael Oliver called time on the match, prompting Gallagher to punch the air in delight for one last time.

And Neville? Well, he was left sipping his coffee with a furious look on his face. Who would be a football fan, eh?
