What Ibrahima Konate did after finding out Gary Neville gave Liverpool man of the match

Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate was not pleased after missing out on the player of the match award against Wolverhampton Wanderers. And even less so when he discovered Gary Neville was the person who decided it.

The Reds moved to the top of the table on Saturday with a 2-1 win over rock-bottom Wolves. Konate opened the scoring in the first half with a header, before Mohamed Salah put Liverpool back in front from the penalty spot after Rayan Ait-Nouri's equaliser.

On Sky Sports commentary Neville gave the Player of the Match prize to Ryan Gravenberch after another commanding display in midfield.

Konate and Gravenberch were both interviewed by Sky after the game, and the former was asked to hand over the award to the latter.

“Sky Sports, who decides who is man of the match?” he joked. “How is this possible? OK, it’s my brother, I have to give it to him. Milan I score, today I score... I didn’t deserve it?

“No, no, no, what happened? You have to talk to them, I don’t know who decides.”

The defender then asked who made the decision and pulled a face when he was told it was the former Manchester United defender. “Thank you Gary,” was Gravenberch's retort.
