Footage has emerged showing Mo Salah blanking Jurgen Klopp at full time during Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with West Ham.
This comes after the heated exchange between the two on the touchline at the London Stadium.
Salah stayed on the bench during the trip to the London Stadium, but upon being introduced in the second half, he let his frustration spill over to Klopp.
After the match, Salah refused interviews and walked past journalists saying: “There will be a fire today if I speak.”
And now, footage has emerged showing Salah ignoring his manager as he headed down the tunnel at full-time on Saturday.
Footage has emerged showing Mo Salah blanking Jurgen Klopp at full time during Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with West Ham.
Salah shook hands with West Ham manager David Moyes but ignored Klopp
Speaking after the match, former Newcastle and England striker Alan Shearer sympathized with Salah, who he believed was frustrated at being left out of the starting line-up.
‘We don’t know what Klopp told him there. “He said something that irritated him,” he said.
“He’s obviously right to be excluded and probably rightly so, although he hasn’t reached the heights that Mo Salah has reached over the years. He’s been an incredible player.”
Shearer continued to discuss the incident and highlight what happened in the new footage.
“He ignores Jurgen (Klopp), gives the Liverpool fans a little applause and goes straight to the tunnel,” he continued.
But we’re guessing what Jurgen told him. I understand that if Mo has the right hump because of the number of times she has been Liverpool’s superstar and their savior.
“He has 17 goals in 25 starts in the league. Anyone else would look at that and think ‘unbelievable’. It’s a shame it ends like this because of what Klopp and Salah have done.”
Speaking after the match, Klopp insisted the matter was closed as far as he was concerned.
“We talked about it in the locker room and that’s done for me,” he said.
Asked if he thought Salah was also willing to move on, the German replied: “That was my impression.”
It remains to be seen how the situation will develop, with matches becoming more intense for Liverpool.
