Mohamed Salah and Jurgen Klopp were involved in a heated touchline exchange as Liverpool’s Premier League title tilt ended with a whimper in a 2-2 draw with West Ham.
Egyptian star Salah has been out of sorts since his return from injury at the start of February, and days after a dismal showing in a 2-0 defeat to Everton, the forward was named on the bench by Klopp for Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off at the Olympic Stadium. The 31-year-old is not one to take being dropped lightly and has previously had some frosty encounters with his manager in the past.
The number 11 was introduced as a second-half substitute in the game, and just before he was brought on TV cameras caught him exchanging what looked to be harsh words with Klopp just before Hammers striker Michail Antonio headed home an equaliser for the home side. As tempers flared, Darwin Nunez had to step in and defuse the situation by pulling his teammate away.
