Mohamed Salah DIVE: Liverpool star SLAMMED for going over easily in Leicester clash
MOHAMED SALAH has been accused of diving again after falling to the ground at Anfield in the first half against Leicester.
The Egyptian was making one of his trademark runs when he was blocked off by the Leicester defence.
Sadio Mane had given Liverpool an early lead at Anfield with a fine low finish in the snow.
But on the stroke of half-time Harry Maguire equalised from close range.
But fans took to social media to express how they were unhappy at how easily Salah went down.
One said: “Another game another Mo Salah dive #mosalah #diver #Salah.”
Another added: “Mo salah is officially addicted to diving, there's no other explanation. #LivLei.”
“I am sick to death of @MoSalah diving. If you’re gonna win the league, win it with class,” a third explained.
A fourth said: “Mo Salah is gonna dive and cheat in every single game until he's penalised for it. Its embarrassing #LIVLEI.”
Mohamed Salah's diving antics could backfire says former referee
Liverpool are looking to extend their lead to seven points over Manchester City.
That's after Pep Guardiola's side suffered a shock defeat to Newcastle last night.
And chants for Rafa Benitez were heard around at Anfield after the Magpies boss oversaw the impressive victory.
Manchester United hero Rio Ferdinand believes Klopp will have called Benitez following the win.
He said on BT Sport: “Listen, the WhatsApp groups again would have been going crazy.
“All the players ‘listen, make sure we get the result tomorrow, now it’s a chance for us to put a bit of light between us and Man City’.
“It’s a great position for them to be in. They’ve got no better incentive to get the right result today.
“He’s definitely rung Rafa.
"Oh definitely. He said ‘cheers mate, nice one’.”
