RIO FERDINAND took a cheeky swipe at Joleon Lescott after Manchester United's controversial comeback win over Manchester City.
City took the lead through Jack Grealish before Marcus Rashford scored a late winner after his involvement in Bruno Fernandes' debatable equaliser.
United legend Ferdinand provided punditry for BT Sport alongside former rival Lescott, who won two Premier League titles during his time at the Etihad.

Ferdinand didn't forget Lescott's cockiness and posted their chat on Instagram in a compilation video after Erik ten Hag's men completed their triumphant comeback.

Ferdinand issued the following caption: "Came bouncing into Old Trafford… left on a stretcher 😂😂😂 @joleonlescott 🔴🔴🔴."
Ferdinand also included clips of him celebrating alongside former team-mate Paul Scholes while backstage .
Lescott was also present but was fuming with United turning the game on its head within just four minutes.
