Jurgen Klopp's 'golden rule' about touching the Anfield sign might be losing some of its lustre, but more superstitious fans may wonder if Wout Weghorst's antics ahead of Sunday's game between the Reds and Manchester United pointed to its power.
Klopp had banned players from touching the sign until they had won something, but this supposed golden rule wasn't exactly hard and fast. January signing Cody Gakpo was among the culprits, but few will be able to blame the Dutchman when club captain Jordan Henderson has done the same thing in the past.
Man Utd striker Weghorst was the latest who couldn't keep his hands off it, as shown in tunnel footage from before Sunday's match. Now, we're not saying the gesture cursed the visitors to their record-breaking 7-0 defeat, but we'll let you say it if you want to.
