Salah unveiled after the game, as Slots angrily half-time team talk Liverpools Turnaround inspired, and Alexander-Arnold joined the Egyptian how angry was the Dutchman.

When asked whether it was the most angry that he had ever seen, van Dijk added: “Yes, but if you look at the first half, he had every right to be angry.
“And from his point of view, I also think it was even more frustrating. But we did what we all wanted in the second half and what he wanted, and now we continue. He was not happy and had every right up [not be].
“Nobody was really satisfied with the first half, but we are all people and we did not intend to play the first half as we did.
