New footage has surfaced that could show the real reason behind Mohamed Salah’s touchline spat with Jurgen Klopp in Saturday’s 2-2 draw against West Ham.
The Egyptian had already appeared frustrated after being relegated to the bench after previously struggling in the Merseyside derby defeat at Goodison Park earlier in the week.
Klopp later refused to reveal what had been said about the situation but insisted the matter had been dealt with.
However, new footage has now showed what could be a possible explanation for the unusual show of discontent amongst Liverpool’s ranks.
A video taken from the stands at the London Stadium captured the exchange and offers a potential explanation after capturing a moment between the pair just before tempers flared over.
Klopp appears to approach Salah as the first of three substitutes attempting to clap hands with his player while waiting for a break in play for him to be introduced.
He is met with a half-hearted clap of hands before the German appears to then ask for an explanation as to why Salah is unhappy with the situation.
The situation then ignites and the public spat is then plays out for thousands in the ground to witness and millions watching around the world.
Liverpool players and fans cut disenchanted figures at full-time as their Premier League title ambitions were extinguished on their trip to the capital.
Defeat leaves Liverpool third in the Premier League standings, one point behind Man City who have two games in-hand, and two points adrift of Arsenal who have one game on them.
