Mohamed Salah has been accused of diving yet again in the aftermath of Liverpool's 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Reds sealed victory thanks to Diogo Jota's first half strike against his former side.
But fans believe they spotted a moment with Salah in the second half that sadly plays into his reputation for 'going down easily.'
Wolves defender Willy Boly jostled with Salah for the ball and the winger hit the ground in a theatrical manner.

It's not the first time Salah has been called out for his reaction to challenges many don't deem as serious.
Last month saw the Egyptian win a penalty against Manchester City which was considered quite dubious.
Social media has reacted and they've gone in incredibly hard on the 28-year-old.

Victory for Liverpool means they move up to sixth in the Premier League and it stops the rot after two consecutive league losses.
Sadly however, the game was marred thanks to a head injury suffered by Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio late on.
The Portuguese international received an accidental blow to the head from captain Conor Coady as the duo attempted to defend a Salah chance.
While there was an offside in the build-up, referee Craig Pawson didn't stop play so VAR could have a ruling at the end of the move.
Patricio was stretchered off and didn't finish the game and manager Nuno Espirito Santo provided an update at full-time.
"Rui Patricio is ok," he told BBC Sport. "He's conscious, he's aware and he remembers what happened.
"The assessment is positive - he's going to be OK."
Nuno continued: "The referees keep the flag down and play to the whistle. Situations will happen. This won't be the only time."
