Liverpool’s title bid suffered another setback as they were held to a 2-2 draw at West Ham, with a touchline clash between Mo Salah and Jurgen Klopp overshadowing the result. Salah, who had been dropped from the starting lineup, appeared to exchange words with Klopp after a missed West Ham chance. The incident sparked speculation that Salah had taken too long to prepare to come on as a substitute. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s poor form continued as they won just one of their last five Premier League matches.
