Gary Neville let out the same noise as millions of Manchester United fans upon seeing Harry Maguire's late miss against Liverpool.
Maguire had the chance to snatch all three points in the dying seconds of the clash between the historic rivals, which ended 2-2 in a pulsating contest at Anfield.

The United centre-back found himself unmarked in the middle of the box and was in prime position to smash home Joshua Zirkzee's cut-back.
However, Maguire sent his effort blazing over the bar as Alejandro Garnacho, who was behind the defender, slumped to his knees.
Red Devils legend Neville was left devastated at Maguire's miss and those listening to Sky Sports' coverage certainly heard as much.
No one on social media quite knew how to describe it, but many picked up on the bizarre noise made by Neville.
One supporter wrote on X: "That was the best Gary Neville scream of all time."
Another posted: "Gary Neville's screaming is killing me man."
Football Cliches podcast host Adam Hurrey added: "New Gary Neville sound unlocked."
Neville's mood at the end of the contest was markedly different to his outlook before a ball had been kicked in anger.
The game was at risk of being called off due to heavy snowfall in and around the stadium, which could have impacted the safety of supporters travelling to Anfield.
But the clubs confirmed the fixture would go ahead as planned after a number of safety meetings.

Given United's poor form in recent weeks, Neville was captured cheekily shovelling snow back onto the pitch in a humorous attempt to get the match called off.
Neville's former teammate Patrice Evra weighed in and commented: "Captain can you put more so they call it off please."
Fans were treated to a 90-minute rollercoaster as both teams traded the lead throughout.
It was United who struck first through a rather unlikely source in Lisandro Martinez.
The Argentinian centre-back was played in by captain Bruno Fernandes and rifled his effort past Alisson, sparking wild scenes in the away end.
However, United's lead lasted just seven minutes as Cody Gakpo answered back with a curling effort.

Mohamed Salah scored his 18th league goal of the campaign to put Liverpool in front from the penalty spot following a handball from Matthijs de Ligt.
Yet United would hit back one final time through Amad Diallo as he swept home Garnacho's cross.
The result brought an end to United's four-game winless streak as they picked up a valuable point away to their bitter rivals.
As for Liverpool, they sit six points clear at the top of the Premier League.
