Jamie Carragher was left red-faced in front of viewers when fellow Sky Sports presenter Dave Jones delivered a devastating comeback to the former Liverpool defender during Monday Night Football.
The moment has since been hailed as "the moment of 2025".
The exchange occurred as Carragher launched into a critique of Mohamed Salah's controversial post-match interview from the weekend.
Mid-rant, the 47-year-old pundit posed what he clearly believed was a rhetorical question to the anchor: "Have I ever criticised Mo Salah on the pitch?"

Mohamed Salah's interview sent shockwaves through the club | PAThe former defender dismissed suggestions that Salah's comments were simply an emotional reaction.
"I think whenever Mo Salah stops in the mixed zone, which he's done four times in eight years at Liverpool, it's choreographed between him and his agent to cause maximum damage and to strengthen his own position," Carragher said on Sky Sports.
He accused the forward of deliberately timing his intervention when the club was at its lowest ebb, suggesting Salah had "waited for a bad result" following Liverpool's 3-3 draw with Leeds United at Elland Road.
Carragher's original remark about Salah's physical decline came during his appearance on CBS Sports, covering Liverpool's surprising 4-1 Champions League loss to PSV Eindhoven.

Salah appeared to anticipate the criticism coming his way when he spoke in the mixed zone at Elland Road.
The Egyptian said during his explosive interview: "So tomorrow you're going to find Carragher is going to go for me again, again, again. That's fine."
