Sky Sports presenter Kelly Cates hailed ‘best in the business’ for cheeky final remarks after Liverpool’s 7-0 vs Man Utd
SKY SPORTS presenter Kelly Cates has been hailed as the “best in the business”.
That’s after her cheeky remarks following Liverpool’s stunning 7-0 win over Manchester United.
Jurgen Klopp’s Reds ran riot at Anfield as they racked up a record number of goals against their rivals.
The humiliating defeat boosted Liverpool’s top four hopes while virtually ending United’s title dream.
But it was the post-match action that had tongues wagging.
Pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher were at each other’s throats during a brutal clash.
Neville slammed Carragher and fellow ex-Liverpool star Graeme Souness for “gloating like little children” as Cates played the role of moderator.
Neville also argued that 7-0 was a “freak result” following United’s recent success, including victory over Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final, in an attempt to downplay Liverpool’s performance.
And Cates couldn’t resist having a cheeky pop as she signed off the show for the evening.
The daughter of Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish bid farewell to viewers saying: “Liverpool sharp off the tee at Anfield this afternoon.

“They’ve beaten Manchester United by seven goals to nil, it’s a record for this fixture.
“Mo Salah is now Liverpool’s record Premier League goalscorer… and they didn’t even play that well! Goodnight.”
Neville attempted to get the final word as the screen cut off, shouting: “And you’re live on Liverpool TV.”
But fans reserved their praise for Cates, with one saying: “Kelly Cates the best in the biz right now. Future main host of BBC Match of the Day right there.”
Another declared: “Kelly Cates once again proving she’s easily the best around right now. Probably the best Sky Sports have ever had. That was Des Lynam-esque in his prime at the end there.”
One noted: “Kelly Cates what a woman, a true professional and still mischievous. Love it!”
Another added: “Fantastic final line! Best sports presenter on TV!”
Meanwhile, Carragher continued his wind-up of Neville today by claiming the ex-Man Utd ace had “cried off” working the Monday Night Football show for Brentford vs Fulham.
It prompted a speedy response for Neville, who told Carragher to “behave” before explaining he was never scheduled for an appearance.
