Jurgen Klopp Reacts Angrily to Mohamed Salah 'Dive' Accusations After Multiple Incidents

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has leapt to the defence of his talisman Mohamed Salah after the Egyptian was accused of diving to win a penalty against Arsenal on Saturday.

With Liverpool already 3-1 up, Salah went down in the box after several nibbles from Arsenal defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos. Referee Michael Oliver pointed to the spot and Salah converted.

Sokratis was not happy at half time as he berated Salah for what he appeared to believe to be a dive. This was the second time in four days that Salah had been accused of going down too easily after winning a penalty under minimal contact from Newcastle's Paul Dummett on Boxing Day.
