The Reds boss praised the Bournemouth forward after his two-goal showing at Anfield and said he felt similar emotions to a tearful Mohamed Salah at the end of the 4-2 win

Merseyside Police are investigating an allegation that Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo was racially abused in an incident which marred an emotional night of tributes to the late Diogo Jota.

Bournemouth captain Adam Smith has responded to the alleged racist abuse aimed at his team-mate Antoine Semenyo during the 4-2 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield. The game, which was marked by tributes to the late Diogo Jota, had to be stopped by referee Anthony Taylor in the 28th minute after Semenyo reported being abused.

Liverpool's clash with Bournemouth was briefly paused in the first-half after Antoine Semenyo reported an alleged incident of racist abuse.

Antoine Semenyo has signed a new long-term contract with Bournemouth, ending speculation over a Premier League summer transfer switch.
