‘Absolute poet’ Peter Drury leaves fans divided with ‘unnecessary’ pun live on Sky Sports after Man Utd vs Liverpool
SKY SPORTS commentator Peter Drury took social media by storm with a comical pun after the Premier League derby between Liverpool and Manchester United.
Drury, 56, covered the Reds’ 3-0 victory over United at Old Trafford.
The Merseysiders’ winning streak under new manager Arne Slot was extended to three games, while goalkeeper Alisson kept a third clean sheet in a row.
Drury appeared to get a little carried away amid Liverpool‘s stunning start to the campaign as he went on to praise Slot.
And the journalist decided to have a little fun with the use of an innocent pun.
Drury said: “The Slot machine has paid out its first big jackpot.”
That pun left fans divided as they stormed social media immediately after.
One fan tweeted: “Peter Drury man. That’s unnecessary.”
Another commented: “Even by Peter Drury’s own standards he needs locking up for that pun.”
A third wrote: “Peter Drury you beauty.”
