Mohamed Salah’s touchline spat with Jurgen Klopp sent shockwaves through the Liverpool fanbase on Saturday.

Though it is unlikely that anyone was more stunned by the squabble than Klopp himself.

Tensions have been running high in the Liverpool camp over the past few weeks as their hopes of landing a treble were left in tatters by Atalanta and Everton.

Countless Reds stars have underperformed during that time, though Salah’s performances have left more to be desired than most.

The Egypt international cut a frustrated figure when preparing to enter the fray against West Ham at the London Stadium, and it was no great surprise when tempers began to boil over.

However, the extensive spat between player and manager raises more than just eyebrows.

Salah was certainly the angrier of the pair, and his berating of his boss is not the conduct expected by a player who has played over 240 appearances to his name and is the captain of his national team.

According to The Athletic, Salah was also added to Liverpool’s club leadership group last summer as he is one of the most respected players in their dressing room.

The ex-Roma star was showing no signs of calming down during his rant at Klopp and over 60 seconds after the fire was sparked, it took the presence of Darwin Nunez to diffuse the situation as much as possible.
