Ruben Amorim has been quick to hit back at Gary Neville, who was less than impressed with the quality on show in the Manchester derby, and equally unimpressed with the "love in" that the opposition players showed each other after the final whistle.

The Red Devils boss has defended his players and claimed that the United legend turned pundit is excessively critical.

“I understand that Gary Neville is critical about everything, so I understand that part.

But you have to look at it within the context of the game and I understand the critical aspect of players who played in this game in a different way, because they were fighting every time for the titles, so it's a different context."

Liverpool were dealt a first away defeat of the season at Fulham with Mohamed Salah's struggles in the final third continuing.

The Egyptian has been prolific for much of the season but, other than penalties, he's endured a quiet period and is now seven games without a goal from open play.

Salah was unable to help the Reds rescue the game at Craven Cottage as the hosts edged out a five-goal thriller but Arne Slot insists the criticism that comes the way of his forward is only because he has set such phenomenal standards for so long and has backed him to rediscover his goalscoring touch.

"Maybe Mo should take it as a compliment because his numbers weren't normal when he was scoring," said the Liverpool boss.
