Liverpool news: Mohamed Salah snaps after seeing Willian equaliser for Chelsea
LIVERPOOL star Mohamed Salah was not happy as he saw Willian’s cross-cum shot earn Chelsea a draw at Anfield on Saturday.
Mohamed Salah was not happy when Willian equalised for Chelsea
Liverpool had taken the lead against Chelsea late on through Mohamed Salah with his 10th Premier League goal of the season.
However, the Egypt international’s 65th-minute strike was not enough to earn the Reds the three points as Willian equalised with five minutes to go.
The Brazilian’s cross-cum shot beat Simon Mignolet all ends up to find its way into the top left corner of the net.
And Salah could not hide his disappointment, slapping the air in frustration as he watched the effort sail into the goal to make it 1-1.

Jurgen Klopp was furious when Liverpool conceded late on
Willian joked after the game that he had meant to score, claiming it was a “beautiful” effort and not a cross.
“It was a shot. It was beautiful,” he said.
"Some people ask, 'You want to cross or you want to shoot?' I said, 'Shoot, of course. Too much quality'."
However, Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer was not convinced but did not blame him for trying to claim it as intentional.
“I think it was a cross, I don't believe him,” the former Newcastle striker said.
“If I was him I would say that I meant it, I wouldn’t say it was a cross.
“You can tell by the shape of his body.”
Willian took his tally for the season to four in 20 appearances with the goal, building on his midweek double against Qarabag in the Champions League.
