Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists he has spoken to Mohamed Salah after their heated argument on the touchline during the Premier League game against West Ham United.

The Egyptian forward reacted furiously while coming on in the game at the London Olympic Stadium, which left him and the gaffer in a fierce confrontation.

After the match, Klopp refused to comment on the incident but admitted he spoke with the 31-year-old and believes the issue has been resolved.

“We spoke about that moment in the dressing room with the lads, it's done," he said in a post-match interview.

Does Mo Salah also consider the matter closed and resolved?, asked the interviewer with Klopp responding, “Yes, that’s my feeling."

Meanwhile, Liverpool's title ambitions are slowly slipping away after missing the opportunity to go top of the league on Saturday afternoon. The Reds sit third on the table and trail leaders Arsenal by two points with the Gunners yet to kick the ball.
