Salah – who had just scored his spot kick – appeared to taunt Jorginho by saying ‘don’t jump’ in reference to his penalty shootout technique.
Jorginho is known for skipping before striking the ball. He uses the technique to throw the goalkeeper off.
However, Salah’s attempt to put Jorginho failed as the 30-year-old held his nerve to find the back of the net.
Fans took to social media to discuss the exchange. Some laughed at Salah’s approach, while other questioned the sportsmanship.
Liverpool won the penalty shootout after Kepa Arrizabalaga, who was substituted late on for the shoot out, missed the decisive spot kick.
As a result, Liverpool regained that title as the club with most League Cup crowns having seen Manchester City draw level with them in recent years.
Having not won the three-armed trophy since 2012, this was the first League Cup winners medal for many of the players and they have been enjoying their celebrations.
