Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has defended Mohamed Salah over claims the Reds forward is a diver.
Arsenal were left furious with Salah when he went down under a challenge from Sokratis Papastathopoulos to win a penalty at Anfield on Saturday.
Salah stepped up to score the spot-kick but was confronted by Sokratis as the players entered the tunnel at half-time, with Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk stepping in to defend his team-mate.
Dejan Lovren won another penalty in a second half after being shoved by Sead Kolasinac, with Roberto Firmino scoring to complete his hat-trick in a 5-1 win for the Premier League leaders.
Just three days earlier Salah was also involved in a controversial penalty incident against Newcastle.
Salah went down after being tugged back by Magpies defender Paul Dummett, earning Liverpool their first Anfield penalty for 424 days.
Speaking after the game Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez described the incident as ‘soft' but stopped short of labelling it a dive.

In the wake of those incidents Klopp has been quick to dismiss suggestions Salah goes down in the box to easily.
Speaking about the penalty decision against Arsenal, the German said : “Do we need blood for a proper penalty? I think no
