There have been many great moments on TV in 2020, but none will top Tim Sherwood!
The former Tottenham boss was left with egg on his face when he was commentating on Liverpool vs Tottenham for Amazon Prime in early December.

As Andy Robertson stood ready to take a corner for Liverpool in the final minute and the game locked at 1-1, Sherwood declared with supreme confidence that Tottenham had nothing to worry about.
“Another corner… I’m not too worried about this corner – it might come back to bite me,” he said.
“I think Tottenham have the dominancy in the air.
“I’m not sure anybody can get their head on the first ball.”
We all know what happened next…
Roberto Firmino rose above every Spurs defender as Sherwood spoke to bury his header and seal all three points for the hosts.
Unsurprisingly, the BT Sport panel couldn’t hide their laughter at his prediction, with one of his colleagues saying ‘Oh Tim!’ as Firmino’s header thundered into the net to leave Sherwood red-faced and force supporters into song.
The moment had striking similarities to Steve McClaren’s commentary gaffe during England’s 2-1 defeat to Iceland at Euro 2016.
The former Three Lions boss eulogised about England’s dominance over Iceland in their last-16 clash live on TV only to watch them go 2-1 down.
