Liverpool fans believe that manager Jurgen Klopp mocked Arsenal with his celebrations after his team’s victory over Burnley.
Klopp’s side bounced back from their 3-1 defeat to Arsenal as they beat Burnley by the same scoreline.
The Liverpool boss usually fist-pumps towards the Kop in celebration at the full-time whistle but on this occasion he elected to perform fist pumps to three sides of Anfield.
Arsenal boss MIkel Arteta couldn’t hide his delight at the final whistle, while captain Martin Odegaard took a picture of the club’s photographer Stuart MacFarlane.

Many Liverpool fans believe that Klopp was mocking Mikel Arteta’s celebrations
One Liverpool fan joked that Arteta will imitate Klopp. They wrote: ‘Arteta will do it to 4 sides at the Emirates next.’
Another wrote: ‘Hahahahaha he’s taking the p*** here’.
Meanwhile, another added: ‘That’s how you do proper Fist Pumps, Arteta’.
Another Liverpool fan was delighted with Klopp’s celebrations and wrote: ‘cc Arsenal fans you will never know what the real thing feels like’.
On Saturday, Liverpool took the lead through Diogo Jota. Burnley equalised courtesy of Dara O’Shea but Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez found the net to ensure that Klopp’s side prevailed.
Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones accused Arsenal of stealing his team’s celebrations.
‘The gaffer, the way he fist pumps the crowd, that’s kind of our thing,’ Jones told the BBC when asked Arsenal’s celebrations.
‘If they want to be stealing our stuff, it shows we’re on the right path if they’re copying us. They can have their moment and stuff, but there’s a long way to go.’
Sky Sports pundit and Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher was also heavily critical of Arsenal’s celebrations.
After Odegaard celebrated with the club photographer, Carragher said: ‘Just get down the tunnel. You’ve won a game, three points, you’ve been brilliant. Back in the title race, get down the tunnel. I’m serious, honestly.’
