Liverpool fan hits back at 'COWARD' Diego Simeone: Supporter who sent Atletico Madrid boss into meltdown reveals what REALLY sparked Anfield chaos - and accuses assistant coach of SPITTING at him

The Liverpool fan who infuriated Diego Simeone has labelled the Atletico Madrid boss a 'coward' in a feisty response to the manager's post-match comments after their Anfield confrontation.

Reds supporter Jonny Poulter identified himself as the man who caused Simeone's meltdown on Wednesday night following Virgil van Dijk's late winner in their Champions League clash.

Poulter, who was sat behind the Atletico Madrid dugout, was confronted by a furious Simeone in the aftermath of the Dutchman's header, resulting in him being red carded late on.

The seething Argentine claimed that he was 'insulted all night' by rival supporters, while referring to racism in his post-match press conference.
