Had Liverpool beaten Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, they would have gone top of the Premier League table.
The Switzerland international barged into the back of Alexander-Arnold with his arm high in front of the Kop, after the defender had already passed the ball back to Alisson Becker. The Liverpool man then retaliated by pushing Xhaka in the back before the two squared up as the previously-despondent crowd started to jeer.
Now, six months on and having seen that impressive unbeaten run ended, a red rag has been shown to the Liverpool bull once again courtesy of the manner of their defeat to Tottenham. This itself prompted a loud cheer from the travelling fans, with it admirable just how resilient Liverpool were in North London and how close they came to actually clinching a point despite the most frustrating of adversities.
“Loved our fight and team spirit," captain Virgil van Dijk would write on Instagram, while Nunez would post, "Come on Liverpool, we are together and against everyone."
