The Egypt star, Salah, was seen shouting at Klopp as he waited to come on as a substitute. This incident occurred just as Michail Antonio levelled for the Hammers, and Salah was held back by his teammate, Darwin Nunez, as the situation threatened to escalate. The draw has essentially ended the Reds’ title hopes. As Salah made his way through the mixed zone on his way out of the stadium, he clearly expressed his displeasure.

Meanwhile, Klopp stated in his post-match press conference that he felt the issue was resolved. However, Salah declined the opportunity to speak to the media before boarding the bus home, fearing that his comments could be too explosive. The argument between Salah and Klopp arose during a furious touchline exchange when Liverpool conceded their second goal against West Ham United. Nunez intervened, attempting to diffuse the situation.

The cause of the argument appears to be a delay in the substitutions being made, although it was unclear who initiated the conflict. Salah eventually entered the game with nine minutes remaining. The match ended in a draw, with West Ham in front near the end of the first half before Andy Robertson equalized for the Reds. This result leaves Liverpool in third place, two points behind the Gunners with an extra game played.
