A clip of the incident showed Salah and Klopp touched hands briefly before the altercation. The Egyptian international, who wanted on sooner, appeared upset at being brought on with only nine minutes to play. He was eventually pacified by Darwin Nunez on the side of the pitch but, stormed straight down the tunnel at full-time and warned there would be ” fire ” if he spoke about the spat.
After a subdued performance in the Merseyside derby, Salah was dropped by Klopp for Saturday afternoon’s must-win match at the London Stadium. And there was visible tension between the pair, who were seen squabbling on the touchline shortly after West Ham scored to grab a 2-2 draw.
Reacting to the scenes after the match, former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch, analysing for TNT Sports, admitted the clash wasn’t good. He said:“Listen Mo Salah is a player who starts the majority of games for Liverpool, he’ll be fuming. He’ll be fuming to be on the bench. Players like that who are expected to start are never happy, but no-one likes to see this, between a manager and a real key player.”
Liverpool’s latest setback has dealt another significant blow to their faltering title bid. Klopp’s side have won just one of their last five Premier League matches.
