Mohamed Salah had a heated exchange with Jurgen Klopp as he prepared to come onto the field.
The Egyptian forward was dropped to the bench for this match having not been performing at his usual high standards for Liverpool since his injury, and following the club’s defeat in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday night.
Salah was preparing to come onto the field in the aftermath of West Ham’s equaliser, and Klopp went over to speak to the forward who raised his arms and continued to speak at his manager who had moved away, before being told to calm down by Darwin Nunez, who pulled him away from continuing the exchange.
Liverpool have not performed at their usual high standards in recent weeks. Since a 2-2 draw against Manchester United on April 7, the club have won just one Premier League match, at Fulham and have lost to Crystal Palace and Everton.
Salah has not scored in the League since the trip to Old Trafford, although he did score a penalty against Atalanta in the Europa League, as the Reds crashed out of that competition following a 3-0 home defeat in the first leg.
