Harry Kane had scored for the hosts just seconds earlier after a Mohamed Salah first-half double.

And with momentum on Spurs’ side, Conte wanted Andy Robertson to take the throw quickly.

Spurs coach Cristian Stellini went to hand Robertson a ball, while Liverpool assistant manager Lijnders held another in his hands in the other dugout.

Conte appeared annoyed that Lijnders didn’t throw his ball to Robertson.

As a result, the Italian gaffer marched over and furiously slapped the ball out of Lijnders’ hands.

The Liverpool coach held up his hands to protest his innocence, before a row between the two dugouts broke out.

Spurs gaffer Conte was booked by referee Andy Madley for hitting the ball away.

After seeing the incident, one wrote on Twitter: “Amazing.”;

While another said: “Love it.”;

But some called for Conte to be slapped with a fine for slapping the ball away.

One social media user said: “Surely conte will get fined right? Surely...”;

In the end Conte’s efforts were in vein, as Liverpool held on to win the game 2-1.

It’s not the first time Conte has found himself in trouble with the officials.

He was banned from Spurs’ trip to Marseille last week after being sent off in the draw to Sporting for criticising the decision to disallow a late goal.
