Salah was clearly furious with boss Jurgen Klopp’s decision, with Liverpool’s opening weekend clash with the Blues on a knife edge at 1-1.

And he vented his frustration on his protective hand tape – tossing it across the West London turf as he trudged off the pitch.

It had fans joking that the Egyptian should have been punished for littering.

One said: “Look at Salah man, littering all over the pitch.”

Another added: “Should Salah be fined for littering? I think so….”

One agreed: “Salah should be fined for littering.”

Another said: “Seriously Salah should be booked for littering!”

Salah had laid on a perfect pass for Luis Diaz to open the scoring in the so-called ‘Caicedo Derby’ – with the clubs in a protracted transfer battle for Brighton star Moises.

Chelsea debutant Axel Disasi levelled things up with a header before half-time, before a goalless second half saw each side settle for a draw.

Salah had a record of scoring in all six of his opening Premier League games with Liverpool.

In those matches, he notched a total of eight goals which is a joint-record with Alan Shearer, Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard.

And he thought he had extended that record after momentarily putting Liverpool 2-0, only to be denied by VAR in a tight offside call.

Ben Chilwell suffered the same fate as Salah when he was narrowly ruled offside having rounded Alisson to finish moments after Disasi’s equaliser.

Klopp refused to criticise Salah for his angry reaction to his substitution.

The German said: “I can understand because if Mo scored it would have been a new record for goals scored in the opening game but I didn’t think about that.

“We needed stability and we needed fresh legs. It was super intense for everybody.

“That’s all I can say about it, his reaction was absolutely okay. When I sub a player and he is jumping in to my arms at 1-1 and he is a striker who thinks he will score, I would be really surprised so that’s absolutely fine.”

Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane, however, was not impressed, telling Salah to “sit down and shut up”.

He said: “It’s OK to be upset but don’t keep it going too long.
