The latter secured a 1-0 victory to seal an immediate return to the Premier League.

And Warnock was in charge of Sky Sports to give his reaction.

But the 75-year-old, who has managed games at Huddersfield Town and Aberdeen this season, had a hilarious interaction with two Wembley caretakers.

As Warnock presented his views, he became irritated by a worker passing by while mowing the lawn.

And he then tried to get a second person to say a few words on air, leaving his fellow presenters in meltdown.

Warnock said before turning to the first custodian, “The three teams that came up… excuse me, could you speak a little louder, please, if you don’t mind?”

Warnock then resumed: “Jesus. Can you believe this?

Another caretaker showed up with a lawnmower.

And as he passed, Warnock leaned over holding the microphone.

He said, “Do you want to say a few words?”
