Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone was sent off moments after Virgil van Dijk scored a last-minute winner for Liverpool in Wednesday's Champions League clash, after clashing with a fan and appearing to use a rude hand gesture to illustrate what caused his anger as he appealed to officials.

Dominik Szoboszlai's delivery resulted in a Van Dijk header, which handed Liverpool a 3-2 victory and kept their perfect record intact.

Simeone was furious and was seen pleading with officials after clashing with a Liverpool fan, and was seen producing a rude hand gesture to the fourth official, seemingly remonstrating at what had caused him to lose his cool.

As Liverpool fans deliriously celebrated Van Dijk's late winner, Simeone was seen being restrained by Anfield security as he confronted a supporter.

The Liverpool fan had a wide grin and was cheering while Simeone approached him aggressively.

Simeone was restrained and later headed down the tunnel after being sent off, and Liverpool held on to claim a dramatic victory.

Liverpool made a fast start on Wednesday night and were 2-0 up inside eight minutes, with Mohamed Salah responsible for both goals.

Andrew Robertson scored the opener on his return to the starting lineup, as Salah's powerful free kick deflected off the defender and found its way past Atleti goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson was caught out by the movement, and Atleti were back level after being dominated in the first half.
