TIMO WERNER unfollowed RB Leipzig on Twitter shortly after they mocked Liverpool’s first loss of the season.
The Reds were thumped 3-0 by Watford on the weekend, ending their 44-game unbeaten run.

And Leipzig tweeted a GIF of Werner, appearing to check his phone in disbelief.
The 23-year-old striker – who is heavily linked to a move to Anfield – then unfollowed his German club.
Werner is said to be pushing for a move to Liverpool, and the European champions have until the start of April to activate his bargain £51million release clause.
Barcelona and Manchester United have also made a move to sign the German forward.
But Werner’s preference is to play under Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and will not decide on his future until the Premier League leaders make it clear whether they wish to sign him or not.
After Werner’s penalty helped Leipzig beat Tottenham in the Champions League last 16 first-leg, he admitted his style of play would suit the Anfield manager.
He said: “You have there, the best coach in the world with Jurgen Klopp.
“There are many things that would suggest that my style of play might be a good fit, but I’m not worried about it because we have so much to do with Leipzig.
“You can see we won against Tottenham, but we also have a second leg. It’s hard to think about where to play next year if you want to step on the gas here and now.”
Werner has scored 27 in 34 games this season, as Leipzig trail champions Bayern Munich by three points in the Bundesliga.
