Mohamed Salah was furious with Jurgen Klopp during Liverpool’s draw with West Ham (TNT Sports)
Jurgen Klopp was involved in a touchline row with Mohamed Salah during Liverpool’s Premier League 2-2 draw with West Ham on Saturday.
Salah started on the bench for Liverpool’s trip to the London Stadium, with Klopp opting to start Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott in attack.
The Egypt international was brought on with 11 minutes remaining, just moments after Michail Antonio headed in a cross from Jarrod Bowen to equalise for West Ham.
But as he prepared to be introduced to the game, Salah reacted angrily to a brief word he received from Klopp on the touchline.
A clearly irate Salah threw up his arms on multiple occasions during the exchange with Klopp before Darwin Nunez and Joe Gomez pushed him away from the Liverpool manager.
When asked about the incident after the game, Klopp said: ‘We spoke already in the dressing room. For me, that’s done.’
Bowen gave West Ham the lead shortly before half time but Liverpool pulled level in the 48th minute through Andy Robertson.
Klopp’s side then took the lead through Alphonse Areola’s own goal after Gakpo’s off-target effort deflected off two West Ham players before the goalkeeper.
