Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp played down Mohamed Salah’s reaction after he was substituted in the 1-0 defeat at home to Chelsea which resulted in the club’s worst home league run in their history.

By the time the Premier League’s leading goalscorer was replaced by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain just past the hour the hosts were already trailing to Mason Mount’s goal late in the first half.
