'I've seen Salah do this time and time again': Graeme Souness claims Liverpool star DIVED to win penalty to help Jurgen Klopp's side reclaim top spot with victory over West Ham

Mohamed Salah has sensationally been accused of diving by Liverpool great Graeme Souness during the narrow victory against West Ham on Saturday.

The Egyptian forward stepped up to fire home a penalty in the first half and level the scores at Anfield - but the circumstances in which the spot kick was awarded have divided opinion.

Salah tangled with Arthur Masuaku inside the box and went to the turf with referee Kevin Friend's decision soon rubber-stamped after a VAR check.

The intervention was not overruled because it was not considered to be a clear and obvious error from the officials.
