55 Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and Mohamed Salah have been in the news a lot over the last few hours after what happened at the London Stadium today.
The Reds’ Premier League dreams took another huge hit this afternoon after they dropped points against David Moyes’ West Ham United.
That all but confirms that Liverpool are out of the title race, which is a shame as it would’ve been a fairytale ending for Klopp had they won it.
The biggest talking point from today’s game, however, was not the result.
The hottest topic of conversation right now is what happened on the touchline between Klopp and Salah just before the Egyptian came on.

Liverpool’s season is crumbling just over a month after people were dreaming about the quadruple.
The Reds, who did win the Carabao Cup, have since crashed out of the FA Cup and the Europa League. Now, their dream of lifting the Premier League title is nearly dead.
What makes everything worse now is the altercation between Jurgen Klopp and Mohamed Salah on the touchline in the game against West Ham United.
When the German went over to Salah to shake his hand and give him his final instructions, Salah seemed really angry for some reason – perhaps because he didn’t start the game.
The two of them had a bit of an argument and Darwin Nunez, who was also on the touchline, had to hold the Egyptian back before things got ugly.
Everyone’s wondering what the real reason was behind the spat between Klopp and Salah on the touchline – we’re sure that will come out at some point.
In the meantime, many people have had their say about the incident.
Former Aston Villa and Hull City defender Ahmed Elmohamady, who used to play with Salah in the Egyptian national team, reckons his old teammate deserves more respect than what Klopp has shown today.
In a 14-word tweet, Elmohamady said: “One of the most successful players in the PL history, deserves more respect. Honestly.”
Gabby Agbonlahor replied: “Agreed mate!”

Nobody expected Jurgen Klopp and Mohamed Salah to have a go at each other in front of the whole world, but it happened today.
The Egyptian went straight down the tunnel after the full-time whistle – you could see that he wasn’t happy at all.
After the game, unsurprisingly, both parties were asked about the incident.
Klopp tried to de-escalate the whole situation by claiming: “No. We spoke already in the dressing room. For me, it’s done.”
Salah, however, was still furious. When a journalist asked about his thoughts, he said: “If I speak today, there will be fire!”
It will be interesting to see how Klopp will react to this in his next press conference.
