Everton defenders Seamus Coleman and Mason Holgate clashed with Liverpool fans after Sunday's FA Cup defeat.
Everton's players were criticised for not going over to their fans at full time as all but Djibril Sidibe immediately made their way down the tunnel.
Footage has emerged of Coleman and Holgate involved in a verbal exchange with home fans.
Toffees captain Coleman is seen repeatedly asking "what did you say?" while Holgate is restrained by goalkeeper coach Alan Kelly.
Holgate, who was involved in a bust-up with Roberto Firmino at Anfield last season, reacts angrily to the taunts before the pair are ushered down the tunnel by a steward.
The Everton players showed more fight in the tunnel than on the pitch!
