Arsenal's Sokratis in tense stand-off with Mohamed Salah at half-time

Arsenal defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos found himself in a tense stand-off with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah at half-time - until Virgil van Dijk stepped in.

The pair were seen walking off together at the break and the Gunners centre half appeared to be in discussion with the Reds forward.

Salah scored a penalty, which was given following a foul by Sokratis on the Egyptian, just before the half-time whistle to put Liverpool 4-1 up.
