Mohamed Salah has been slammed for his post on social media just two hours after a car ploughed through Liverpool fans following the conclusion of their trophy parade. The Egyptian posted a photo of himself kissing the Premier League trophy on the pitch at Anfield.
It was published at 8.24pm, while emergency services were still treating victims of the car incident in Liverpool city centre. It is likely that the winger's social media team had already scheduled the post in advance, but he still came under fire from fans. Salah, or his team, deleted the post an hour after it went live.
"It's not the right time, respect the painful incident," one Reds supporter said. Another added: "F**k you and your PR team. Put**s"
A third wrote: "This is why you should never relinquish control of your socials to a soulless media team. Completely inappropriate."
And a fourth said: "This scheduled post has landed at a bad time. They need to do damage control."
Some supporters leapt to the defence of their hero and pointed the blame at his PR team.
"Obviously Mo's PR team who should know a lot better - he would never do this," one person wrote.

Another added: "This is bad social media management. Posting this just after the Liverpool parade incident… should have cancelled if it’s scheduled."
Liverpool FC released an official statement following the incident which read: "We are in direct contact with Merseyside Police regarding the incident on Water Street which happened towards the end of the trophy parade earlier this evening.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been affected by this serious incident.
"We will continue to offer our full support to the emergency services and local authorities who are dealing with this incident."

A police spokesperon confirmed that they arrested a 53-year-old white British man at the scene.
"We are currently dealing with reports of a road traffic collision in Liverpool city centre," they said. "We were contacted at just after 6pm today, Monday 26 May, following reports a car had been in collision with a number of pedestrians on Water Street.
"The car stopped at the scene and a male has been detained. Emergency services are currently on the scene. We will issue more updates as we have them."
