Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said Sadio Mane is 'an emotional guy' after the forward reacted angrily after being substituted in Saturday's 3-0 win over Burnley.
Mane could be seen shouting on the bench after coming off with six minutes remaining, but he was angry with an earlier incident on the pitch rather than Klopp's decision to replace him.
Instead, the forward's anger stemmed from his frustration at Mo Salah's decision to shoot rather than pass to him inside the 18-yard box when he was through on goal.
After the game, Klopp was quick to play down the incident: 'Sadio is an emotional guy,' he said to Sky Sports. 'He wasn't happy with something, clearly, but it wasn't the substitution he was angry with!
'It's not a big issue, it's something we'll talk about in the dressing room and move on.'
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher sympathised with Mane's anger and said Salah has a tendency to be selfish in the final third.
'Salah should have passed,' he said to Sky Sports. 'If he hasn't scored for 60 minutes, then he looks as though he is absolutely desperate to score in the final 30 minutes and he starts shooting more, which Mane clearly wasn't happy with.
'Obviously Mane is in incredible form and wants to score goals and he took his goal brilliantly tonight - he's been involved with over 100 goals for Liverpool now which is an incredible statistic.'
Liverpool's win means they are top of the Premier League table heading into the international break having won their opening four games.
