Jurgen Klopp and Mohamed Salah created a scene during Liverpool's 2-2 draw against West Ham, which further dented a blow to their Premier League title hopes.

The Egyptian started off the bench and was substituted after the Hammers equalised, but not after he had an altercation with his manager and was pulled apart by teammates.

Sports Brief looks at four other times the manager and player have clashed, as first called by Mirror UK.

Five times Klopp and Salah clash

Sheffield United vs Liverpool

Liverpool came back to win 3-1 over Sheffield United last month. Salah was hauled off with the score still 1-1. He appeared disappointed and grudgingly shook his manager's hand. Klopp clarified it as nothing serious in his post-game conference.

Chelsea vs Liverpool

The Reds opened their season with a 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. He assisted the opening goal but was substituted with 10 minutes to go, and both sides were chasing a winner. He removed his wristbands and threw them on the floor.

Brighton vs Liverpool

Liverpool defeated Brighton 2-0 at the AMEX Stadium in March 2022. Luis Diaz opened the scoring and when Salah had the opportunity to play him in for two, he decided to shoot and Klopp was fuming on the touchline. The former Chelsea man made it two in the second half.

Brighton vs Liverpool

Liverpool and Brighton drew 1-1 at the Falmer Stadium. The former Basel winger was displeased at his substitution in the 60th minute for Sadio Mane. Klopp clarified later that he was recovering from COVID and his minutes had to be managed.

Salah breaks silence after Klopp's spat.

Sports Brief reported that Salah broke silence after Klopp's spat on the touchline before he was substituted against West Ham at the London Olympic Stadium.

The winger went straight down the tunnel after the match, and when quizzed in the mixed zone, he said there would be fire if he spoke, sending a message that it was serious.
