Sky Sports expert Gary Neville says a linesman "panicked and bottled it" when he denied Luis Suarez a late winner in the Merseyside derby.

Despite Everton enjoying much of the play at Goodison Park, Neville insisted Liverpool, who led 2-0 after 20 minutes, would be the more frustrated with the result. "Liverpool will be the most disappointed at the end because of that (Suarez's disallowed goal) and they have given a 2-0 lead away," he said. "They will be the most disappointed and Everton will be happy. 2-0 down against Liverpool and then having that in the last minute, they will think we will move on with the draw."
