Believed to have been captured on board the official team flight back from Brighton on Sunday, the squad also make reference in the video to Reds star Mo Salah being dangerously tackled by Vincent Kompany earlier this season.

After the video was shared hundreds of thousands of time on Twitter and Facebook, Liverpool fans posted in their droves about the club's lack of respect over the game, the season and the video.
