    Whilse coming off, Mane \u2013 who earlier felt slighted after teammate Mohamed Salah failed to play him in \u2013 was seen remonstrating and showing anger with the Reds bench looking on bemused.<\/p>\n

    Following the match, Klopp admitted Mane was upset and conceded he was an “emotional guy” who is not particularly fond of being taken off, but added he’s since cooled off and that everything is fine.<\/p>\n

    His fellow attack partner Roberto Firmino, who became the first Brazilian to net 50 goals in Premier League history, gave a sheepish look as Mane and Salah headed back to the dressing room at full-time.<\/p>\n

    He wasn’t the only Liverpool player to see the funny side with James Milner posting a caption of the incident on social media and writing “Maybe I misread this, but I\u2019m pretty sure Sadio was reacting to me not getting brought on #getmillyon #thanksmate.”<\/p>\n

    Mane, himself, responded with two laughing emojis followed by: “it’s exactly what I been complaining”.<\/p>\n
