Liverpool clinched their sixth straight win as they beat Brentford on Saturday night.
Mohamed Salah's 30th goal of the season was enough for the Reds to win 1-0. The result means Jurgen Klopp's side still have dim hopes of a Champions League spot, although a European Cup spot is more likely.
But there were plenty of people who went unnoticed or in the spotlight during the 90 minutes at Anfield.
Kraweitz is crazy
It will take some effort to get past the boos coming from the home fans during Saturday's national anthem. Anthony Taylor, however, seems quite willing to give it a try.
The referee infuriated the Anfield crowd by awarding a continuous series of free-kicks to Brentford to provide regular opportunities for the stationary pundits to examine the Liverpool defence.
And that was overwhelming for the Reds assistant coach, Peter Krawietz, who reacted to another late foul on the Reds in such a dramatic way that his points flew across the pitch. Krawietz can then be seen sheepishly retrieving the papers before they fly away in the wind.
Konate is confused
Emotions certainly ran high throughout the game, largely due to the dodgy referee. Ibrahima Konaté responded to a questionable foul he committed in the second half by grabbing the ball and jumping up and down incredulously.
Meanwhile, Diogo Jota saved an unpunished challenge from Zanka, who then scuffled with the Liverpool player on the pitch before being shoved in response.
An argument ensued before referee Taylor stopped the game and sent the duo out. A rare time Brentford did not receive a free kick.
Salah shy
Mohamed Salah enjoyed another record-breaking night, scoring his 100th goal at Anfield for the Reds and moving up to 186 for the club, a number only four players have surpassed. And Brentford player Vitaly Janelt was keen to take home a memento from the game when he walked up to Salah and asked for a shirt change.
However, the Egyptian gave his shirt to a fan when the final whistle blew before asking to wear a training shirt to prevent him from wandering around half-naked as Liverpool ate. celebrate victory.
Cally found out
There was an emotional moment a few hours before the game outside the stadium. Ian Callaghan, whose record 857 appearances for the club will probably never be broken, can be seen walking calmly and perhaps unrecognized as a group of young fans proceed to the back of Anfield Road's reconstructed stands.
That was until the 81-year-old was discovered by a Reds fan closer to his classic, who began to entertain him with stories of having followed him from the boys' stables. kid at The Kop in the 1960s. That's when young fans nearby realized that they were in the presence of a true Liverpool legend. The surrounding smiles ensued.
