Ibrahima Konate hilariously tried to grab Mohamed Salah's shirt before he could give it away to a fan following Liverpool's win over Wolves.
Liverpool returned to winning ways in the Premier League following their goalless draw at Crystal Palace by beating Wolves 2-0 at Anfield on Wednesday.
Second-half goals from Virgil van Dijk and Salah secured the three points for Jurgen Klopp's team as they move to sixth place in the table.

And after getting on the score-sheet, the Egyptian superstar gave his shirt away to a lucky fan.
That was after Konate stopped another supporter from receiving the match-worn shirt.
He bizarrely intervened before the Liverpool forward handed over his shirt to a fan.
Needless to say, the interaction between Salah, Konate and the fan got people talking online.

One Twitter user wrote: "He’s a fan too."
A second tweeted: "Love Ibu man."
A third added: "He blocked the hoodie guy to get that so that Salah can give to the girl."
With a big smile on his face, Konate made his way back to the dressing room. Salah followed his teammate into the back after the home win.

Speaking after the result, Klopp praised Konate's showing in defence and the rest of the team.
"I thought we performed tonight, we played a really good game in general," he said.
"But I really think the centre-halves and Fabinho together, how they covered that area, how they denied the counter-attacks, how they defended into midfield, which is very important against a team who play with one striker, I thought they did really well."

The German boss added: "In possession, we looked pretty good in a lot of moments, with Harvey [Elliott], Stefan [Bajcetic] in the half-spaces, that worked well.
"Up front, we grew into the game; it’s not a game where immediately you create plenty of chances but we grew into the game, all the boys were really involved in all the dangerous stuff, worked extremely hard defensively as well. That’s why you win a football game."
