New footage has emerged which could show the real reason behind Mohamed Salah’s touchline scuffle with Jurgen Klopp in Saturday’s 2-2 draw against West Ham.
The Egyptian already looked frustrated after being relegated to the bench after struggling in the Merseyside derby defeat at Goodison Park earlier in the week.
Salah angered his manager when Klopp attempted to drag the 31-year-old into the contest with just over 10 minutes left in the Premier League encounter.
The Liverpool manager initially approached Salah but was rebuffed before the Reds star continued to fume before Darwin Nunez calmed him down and took him away.

Klopp later refused to reveal what had been said about the situation but insisted the matter had now been resolved.
However, new images have now shown what could be a possible explanation for the unusual display of discontent within the Liverpool ranks.
A video taken from the stands of the London stadium captured the exchange and offers a possible explanation after capturing a moment between the pair just before tempers flared.
Klopp appears to approach Salah as the first of three substitutes trying to applaud their player as they wait for a break in play to be introduced.

He is greeted with half-hearted applause before the German appears to ask for an explanation as to why Salah is unhappy with the situation.
The situation then heats up and the public dispute unfolds with thousands of people on the ground as witnesses and millions watching around the world.
Liverpool players and fans showed disenchanted figures at full-time as their Premier League title ambitions were extinguished on their trip to the capital.
The defeat leaves Liverpool third in the Premier League standings, one point behind Man City, who have two games in hand, and two points behind Arsenal, who have a game in hand.
