Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has inflicted third degree burns on Dejan Lovren via his Instagram page.
The Croatian defender posted a picture of him scoring the goal that took Liverpool to the Europa League final at the hands of Jurgen Klopp’s old team Borussia Dortmund.
Dejan Lovren put the ball in the back of the net during extra time in a fixture that included a strike from fellow defender Mamadou Sakho grabbed one of the four.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang put Dortmund 2-0 up before 10 minutes had passed, in front of the Anfield crowd, but then Liverpool slowly started to pull things back.
Divock Origi netted the first, Marco Reus then reinstated the German’s two-goal lead, Philippe Coutinho got another back before the defenders rose to the challenge and scored twice to send Liverpool to the European final.
That is what inspired Dejan Lovren to post the photo – and Mohamed Salah to take the mick out of him for it. The World Cup finalist said it was one of his favourite moments for the club. Mo hit back asking if it was his one and only for Liverpool, before Degsy tried to have another dig back.

He’s only scored eight goals in his career, and this one has to go down as his career best.
It’s been a chequered career for the former Southampton man, who has failed to perform to the regular high standard that fans demand. Since his arrival from the south coast, Dejan Lovren has peppered his good times with bad.
For every Dortmund, there’s a Tottenham.
While it looks like his time at the club is drawing to a close, there’s been enough positive moments to rank his signing as a good one overall. 184 appearances in all competitions ain’t bad, but he’s bound to go down in history as someone who divided opinion.
