Jamie Carragher has hit back at Gary Neville for misquoting him and sought to set the record straight on remarks he made regarding long-throws and set-pieces.

Subsequently, during the most recent instalment of The Overlap podcast, Neville challenged Carragher's stance on long throws, declaring his fondness for them.
