Alan Shearer has defended Mohamed Salah after his heated argument with Jurgen Klopp on the sideline.
It looks like Liverpool’s title run is all but over after their 2-2 draw with West Ham on Saturday capped off a painful past two weeks for the Reds.
With only a handful of games left to play and the high level of football on display from their title rivals, one win in their last five Premier League games is not good enough at this point of the season.
Although the Hammers have had their fair share of poor performances this season, travelling to the London Stadium is no small task, especially with the likes of Jarrod Bowen in red-hot form.
The English attacker grabbed a goal and an assist as the Liverpool defence struggled to contain his penetrating runs.
Liverpool were without their talisman, Salah, with the Egyptian being left on the bench from the start.
Klopp decided to bring him in the second half but not before the two had a fiery argument on the touchline.
Speaking on BBC’s Match of the Day, Shearer sympathised with Salah for being left out of the starting line-up.
‘He’s obviously got the right hump with being left out and probably rightly so, even though hasn’t hit the heights that Mo Salah has done over the years. He’s been an unbelievable player,’ he said via the Daily Mail.
