MOHAMED SALAH had a cup thrown at him as he goaded Tottenham fans after firing Liverpool into a second-minute lead in the Champions League final.

The Egyptian made no mistake with his spot-kick which was controversially awarded when Moussa Sissoko was adjiudged to have handled Sadio Mane’s pass with only TWENTY-THREE SECONDS played.

Salah rifled past Hugo Lloris in front of the Spurs fans and put last year’s runners up one goal to the good.

But his celebration left a lot to be desired as he ran up to the Spurs fans behind the goal and embraced with team-mates.

This angered most of those fans and a plastic cup was thrown from that section, thankfully missing the player.

Salah then did his traditional ‘prayer’ celebration as he kissed the ground.

He then turned around to goad the Spurs fans again by pulling out his ears in a similar way Raheem Sterling did to racist Montenegro fans after scoring for there for England in March.

No racist or abusive chanting was heard, but you wonder if there was a religious or political motive for the celebration with Salah coming from Egypt and Tottenham having strong links with Judaism and Israel.

Either way, Spurs are likely to be fined by UEFA over the incident.
