Milner backs angry Konate during Hertha defeat

Ibrahima Konate wasn't too happy shortly before half-time in Reds' defeat to Hertha Berlin on Thursday

The Liverpool new signing was noticed enraged after he came under a challenge from Hertha's Davie Selke that he was convinced he should have had a penalty.

Having been held back by Davie Selke , indeed, Konate was irate that he fronted up to the Hertha Berlin man, who was having absolutely none of it.

Enter James Milner who, rather than playing peacemaker, instead gave Selke a piece of his mind while Konate was ushered away from the growing fracas.

Sure, Konate may have been eventually booked. But he now knows Milner has his back.
