Eagle-eyed viewers spot Wayne Rooney’s cheeky reaction to Liverpool defeat – and it’s not the first time he’s had a dig at the Reds’ expense!

Wayne Rooney is synonymous with Everton and Manchester United and he couldn’t contain his glee at seeing their bitter rivals Liverpool suffer another disappointing result this season.

Liverpool have been below-par compared to their lofty standards and that came to the fore once more on Tuesday night as they lost 1-0 at Galatasaray in their Champions League last-16 first-leg tie.

The fixture in Istanbul was a 5.45pm (GMT) with the remaining three other ties – Atalanta vs Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid vs Tottenham and Newcastle vs Barcelona – all kicking off at 8pm.

Rooney was working as a pundit for Amazon Prime for the latter encounter and his happiness was visible when presenter Gabby Logan revealed the scoreline from Turkey during the build-up to Newcastle’s clash.

Upon learning of Liverpool’s loss, Rooney can be seen smiling and nodding before taking a look at his fellow pundits Les Ferdinand and Daniel Sturridge – with the latter having played for the Reds.

Logan asked Sturridge for his reaction to that result to which he replied: ‘That’s a surprise, isn’t it!?’. However, before he could expand further Rooney cheekily interjected with: ‘Is it?’

‘Really? Really, Wazza?’ Sturridge asked with he and his colleagues all laughing. ‘This is what I’m saying, we’re here to do a job tonight and you’re already putting daggers in!’

Rooney struggled to contain himself as he insisted: ‘I’m not!’, before Sturridge admitted: ‘Disappointing result for Liverpool obviously but there’s another leg.’
