Liverpool's Mohamed Salah had a blunt response to his heated confrontation with manager, Jurgen Klopp, during their game against West Ham United on Saturday (April 27).

The veteran and his handler were spotted furiously exchanging words on the touchline as the Egyptian came off the bench in the 2-2 draw at the London Olympic Stadium.

It is unclear what led to the argument but Salah's teammates, Darwin Nunez and Joe Gomes, had to eventually step in to cool tempers in another dismal outing for the Reds.

Salah left the London Olympic Stadium with a beaming smile but his comments have suggested that things are not right in the Liverpool dressing room.

"There is going to be fire today if I speak," he said as he left the mixed zone, as captured on a video shared on social media.

Salah has been Liverpool's main man this season, scoring 24 goals across all competitions and Klopp will leave the Anfield outfit at the end of the season with quadruple hopes dashed.

The Merseysiders lost the opportunity to go top of the Premier League table after the draw in London, and currently sit two points behind league leaders, Arsenal, who have a game in hand.

Defending champions Manchester City, meanwhile, defeated Nottingham Forest on Sunday to close the gap on the Gunners to just one point with a game in hand over the Londoners.

Klopp opens up after Salah incident

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Klopp insists he has spoken to Salah after their heated argument on the touchline against West Ham on April 27.

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

Liverpool held at West Ham

Sports Brief also reported that West Ham snuffed out Liverpool's hopes of the Premier League title with a 2-2 draw at the London Stadium.

Jarrod Bowen put the home team ahead in the closing minutes of a dull first half but Andy Robertson levelled for the Reds after the break.

A bizarre Alphonse Areola own goal 20 minutes into the second half put the visitors in front but Michail Antonio pulled West Ham level again.
