'There will be fire' - Mohamed Salah offers cryptic response when quizzed on touchline spat with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool's fading title hopes suffered another blow on Saturday as the Reds were held to a 2-2 draw at at West Ham. The game also saw Salah and Klopp involved in an angry exchange on the touchline in the second half as the Egyptian prepared to come on as a substitute. Salah had been benched for the game and did not appear too happy when quizzed about the incident after the game.

According to James Pearce at The Athletic, Salah refused all interview requests after the match but did have a few brief words for the media, saying only: "If I speak today there will be fire."

Klopp played down the incident after the full-time whistle and said the matter was already "done," but the sight of the manager arguing with his star player does not appear to be a good sign. Saturday was another poor day for the Reds, with the draw potentially dealing a fatal blow to Liverpool's title hopes. They sit one point behind Manchester City, who have two games in hand on the Reds, and two off leaders Arsenal - who also have a game in hand on Klopp's side.

Liverpool return to Anfield next time out with a visit from Tottenham. The Reds then finish their Premier League campaign with games against Aston Villa and Wolves.
