Jurgen Klopp plays down Sadio Mane's angry reaction to being hauled off for Mohamed Salah during Liverpool's 7-0 rout of Crystal Palace as Reds boss insists the Senegal star was 'absolutely fine' when they spoke after full-time

Jurgen Klopp has played down Sadio Mane's angry reaction to being substituted during the win over Crystal Palace as the Liverpool boss stressed his players are 'human beings'.

The Reds were in scintillating form as they rolled over Roy Hodgson's side in a 7-0 rout on Saturday, with Mane, Roberto Firmino, Mo Salah, Takumi Minamino and Jordan Henderson on the scoresheet.

Klopp played a changed side from the 2-1 win over Spurs on Wednesday, and introduced Salah from the bench for the Senegalese star early in the second half of the game.
