# Manchester City: Salah image enrages fans

**Lots of Manchester City fans have flocked to Twitter to react to a [post from City news Twitter account @City\_Chief](https://twitter.com/City_Chief/status/1358506934752727043) which shared an image of Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah going down in the box in Sunday’s Premier League clash between their club and the Reds.**

Pep Guardiola’s side won the game 4-1, with Liverpool’s only goal coming from a [63rd-minute Salah penalty](https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2021/feb/07/liverpool-v-manchester-city-premier-league-live?page=with:block-602029cd8f0862592e4b3d9e). The Egyptian won the spot-kick himself, as City defender Ruben Dias was deemed to have pulled him down. Journalist Rob Smyth declared that this was a ‘clear penalty’ in [The Guardian’s live blog](https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2021/feb/07/liverpool-v-manchester-city-premier-league-live?page=with:block-602029cd8f0862592e4b3d9e) on this fixture.

However, it’s clear that not many Man City supporters would share that view, as they’ve been slating Salah in response to this tweet from @City\_Chief.

### **So, how have these Manchester City fans been reacting to this image?**

A lot of City supporters seemingly feel that this image shows Salah went down with minimal contact from Dias, as they’ve been replying to this post to slam the 28-year-old, suggesting that he went down too easily.
