Glenn Hoddle trolls Liverpool striker Christian Benteke

Glenn Hoddle couldn’t resist a joke at Christian Benteke’s expense during his commentary on Wednesday night.

Liverpool roared to a 3-0 victory over Manchester City in the Premier League on Wednesday night thanks to goals from Adam Lallana, James Milner and Roberto Firmino.

Jurgen Klopp opted to hand Benteke a rare appearance from the bench at Anfield as the giant striker replaced compatriot Divock Origi.

And former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur manager Hoddle delivered a hilarious line during BT Sport’s coverage of the Premier League clash on Merseyside.

Glenn Hoddle with the best line of the night: 'It must be a good night for Liverpool if they can bring Benteke on…' 😂😅 #lfc
