Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister cheekily took to social media following the fierce challenge from Everton defender James Tarkowski during the Reds' 1-0 derby win.
In the opening period, the Argentine fell victim to a high tackle which only saw Tarkowski receive a yellow card.
One more, one less."
The post featured photos, with the first capturing Tarkowski's contentious contact on Mac Allister.
The view that Tarkowski deserved an early exit just 11 minutes in was widely agreed upon.
Discussing the incident, Neville remarked on Sky Sports: "Most would say he's got the ball, but he knew exactly what he was doing, Tarkowski.
Mac Allister was there, [Tarkowski was] doing an old-fashioned follow-through - take the lot.
"Yeah, I think he's [Tarkowski] lucky because he's gone high.
If you're a defender you can put your foot on the floor if you want to, if you want to leave your studs in the air and catch someone's knee or shin, I think he's very lucky.
"I think it's a bad one, that's a potential leg breaker.
"I think he's very lucky there, Tarkowski," Neville added.
"There will be some saying it's a natural follow-through, trust me, you do not need to follow through like that with such force, it's high, he's very lucky.
We all used to do it, classic get away with it, kick the ball away and follow through rather than putting it back on the ground."
The Premier League, in an official communication, outlined its stance on the tackle as reckless.
Following the referee's decision to issue a yellow card to Tarkowski for his foul, confirmed by VAR, the league's official explanation on social media read: "The referee's call of yellow card for a reckless foul by Tarkowski was checked by the VAR, with contact on the follow through after Tarkowski had played the ball deemed to be reckless."
