Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has defended Mohamed Salah over criticism of the penalty he won in victory over West Ham.
Salah scored from the spot in the 42nd minute after he went down in the area following a challenge from West Ham defender Arthur Masuaku.
Although Salah has been accused of diving in some quarters, Klopp is adamant that his player didn't cheat and revealed that he has "a proper knock on his foot" as a result of Masuaku's challenge.
Speaking at a press conference ahead of Liverpool's game against Atalanta, Klopp said: "No. I don't know what people need. It was a foul. Everybody who saw the situation saw it.
"Yesterday I spoke to Mo and he has exactly three knocks and one of them is from the penalty situation. He has a proper knock on his foot. We don't talk that long about penalties we don't get. There was clear contact, so I don't understand."
