The Reds were held to a draw in the Merseyside derby after Wayne Rooney netted a penalty at Anfield this afternoon.
Dejan Lovren brought down Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the 77th minute, with Rooney scoring the spot-kick to cancel out Mohamed Salah’s opener.
And Manchester United hero Neville says Lovren was naive, adding that Liverpool were the masters of their own downfall in the 1-1 draw.
“They just got a little caught forward,” Neville told Sky Sports.
“Look, it’s soft the penalty, Lovren’s complaining at the end, he’s whinging at the referee.

“But I always think if you give the referee a chance and he did.
“It’s just those hands, you can see it from behind better. It’s naive from Lovren, it’s naive.
“I think Calvert-Lewin knows exactly what he’s doing, it is a soft penalty. He has gone down for it, he’s played for it, absolutely he has.
“But I think Lovren is experienced enough to know what is going to happen now.
“It’s not as if it’s his first game in football and I think Liverpool have only got themselves to blame, just not really taking the chances that they should have done.”
