What furious Gabriel Jesus accused Liverpool of doing to Jurgen Klopp in touchline rant

Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus accused Liverpool players of elbowing him during his side’s 2-2 Premier League draw at Anfield.

Roberto Firmino scored a dramatic late equaliser as Mikel Arteta’s side saw their lead at the top of the Premier League table cut to six points. The game included plenty of talking points.

There was a bizarre incident at the end of the first-half when referee's assistant Constantine Hatzidakis appeared to elbow Andy Robertson as the teams left the field. Liverpool’s players were left furious by the incident as they made their way down the tunnel.

While Gabriel Jesus, who scored Arsenal’s second goal, was also on the receiving end of a triple challenge inside Liverpool's half. The Brazilian was forced to receive treatment by Arsenal physio Simon Murphy before leaving the field at own accord.

But while making his way to the touchline, Jesus, according to football.london, seemed to accuse the Liverpool players of elbowing him in a frustrated rant to Jurgen Klopp. The report also claims that referee Paul Tierney did not seem to acknowledge Jesus' complaints.

Goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Jesus put Arsenal in control at Anfield before Mohamed Salah reduced the arrears just before the break. And just when it looked like Arsenal would be set to claim all three points, Firmino scored at the death to send the home fans wild.
