Liverpool fans are fuming with ONE Chelsea player after spotting what he did during their guard of honour at Stamford Bridge.

Liverpool secured the Premier League title following their 5-1 victory over Tottenham last weekend.

It's the club's 20th league title in their storied history.

As per league tradition, Liverpool received a guard of honour against Chelsea ahead of kick-off in their first league fixture since their league triumph.

Chelsea players lined up either side as Liverpool's league-winning team, led by captain Virgil van Dijk, walked through the guard of honour.

The likes of Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill and Enzo Fernandez applauded their opponents onto the pitch.

But Liverpool supporters called out Noni Madueke's act during the guard of honour.

People on social media are convinced he didn't clap as the Liverpool XI received their guard of honour.

One X user wrote: "Madueke is not clapping."

A second joked: "Madueke wasn’t enjoying that guard of honour was he."

A third added: "Might be the most pathetic clapping I’ve ever seen that from Madueke."

Another commented: "Madueke has no respect! He wasn’t clapping."

Liverpool will receive a guard of honour for their remaining league fixtures against Arsenal, Brighton and Crystal Palace before lifting the Premier League at Anfield in front of their own fans on May 25.

Despite it being Premier League tradition, Peter Crouch doesn't like the concept of a guard of honour.

On TNT Sports, he said "I don't like it. Maybe it shows respect but I just don't get it. It's embarrassing for the team that comes out and it's entirely embarrassing for the team that claps them on the field. It's not for me."

Rio Ferdinand agreed with Crouch, adding: "I didn't like it. I've been fortunate to receive the guard of honour and be on the receiving end of it.

"Both are quite awkward. Crouchy's exactly right."
