Salah and Klopp appeared to be rather hostile towards each other
A new angle of an incident between Mohamed Salah and Jurgen Klopp at full time has emerged online after the two exchanged verbals earlier in the game.
Liverpool dropped points again as they were held to a 2-2 draw with West Ham United on Saturday, leaving them with a mountain to climb if they want to win the Premier League title.
However it wasn’t the football on the pitch that caught the attention of everyone.

Salah had been dropped to the bench for the game at the London Stadium after failing to make an impact in the Merseyside derby defeat on Wednesday but was eventually called upon shortly after West Ham equalised.
Before being subbed on, Salah and Klopp seemed to have a rather heated exchange before Darwin Nunez intervened and came between the two.
Now a clip of Salah and Klopp has done the rounds on social media. As Klopp went to go and shake Salah’s hand at full time, the Egyptian seemingly ignored the offer and only briefly acknowledged the travelling Liverpool fans before heading down the tunnel.

Salah refuses to speak to media
After the game speculation about what happened was rife online. Former Reds defender Jamie Carragher believed it may have been to do with the fact that Salah wasn’t ready to come on when asked.
Furthermore, when walking through the mixed zone after the game, Salah said: “If I speak today there will be fire” while Klopp refused to comment on the matter.
Carragher has since followed up on Sunday morning by urging everyone to let the duo settle the incident together and “enjoy their last few weeks together”.
