Joe Gomez received a lot of abuse from Liverpool fans following Wayne Rooney tweet

Joe Gomez took to Twitter to congratulate Wayne Rooney last night.

The England captain scored his 50th goal for his country, surpassing Bobby Charlton's long standing national team record, as England won 2-0 against Switzerland. Liverpool defender Gomez, like many other England fans, congratulated Rooney on reaching milestone.However, some Liverpool fans on Twitter didn't take kindly to a player congratulating the captain of bitter rivals Manchester United and the backlash became so great Gomez deleted the tweet. https://twitter.com/JoshWoogs/status/641348835961212929?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/arenkennedy/status/641348550744391680?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/joeclfc/status/641348880114692097?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/ThomasS31966995/status/641349035261952000?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/Joe_Harrissss/status/641348745431379970?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Thankfully, there were also some more level headed Liverpool fans who saw no harm in Gomez's tweet. https://twitter.com/mayamahadevan/status/641551606555631616?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/StuartWeldon/status/641507694944362496?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/Ingsinho/status/641502140813438976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/laurinaaa_/status/641501969614553088?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/LazarTag/status/641356494869389312?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
