A picture of a Liverpool striker, Mohammed Salah and Liverpool fan, Louis Fowler was uploaded on the 23rd of February by an online blogger called Troll Football on X (formerly known as Twitter).
The blogger claimed that Mo Salah beat up a fan and after that he still took a picture with him. The fan in question was seen with blood flowing down through his nose.
The tweet has garnered 132,000 likes, 1,823 comments and has been reposted by 6,156 X users as of the time of writing this check.
When one of the commenters asked if it’s true, the blogger said it is and also claimed he was the one who snapped the picture.
