Mo Salah storms past Jurgen Klopp after Liverpool star's tantrum as he's subbed off

Mohamed Salah and Jurgen Klopp ignored one another after the Liverpool star threw a tantrum at being substituted against Chelsea.

To the shock of many, and mostly Salah, he was replaced by Harvey Elliot with 15 minutes to go at Stamford Bridge while the match was evenly balanced at 1-1.

He turned around with a look of disgust on his face before ripping off the tape from his right arm not once, not twice but three times in anger.

Then once he reached the dugout he and Klopp blanked each other, with Salah heading straight to the bench without acknowledging his manager.

Fans were divided over whether Salah's reaction was justified. One tweeted: "Tbf, is a strange substitution…" Another posted: "Can't blame him. Man was chasing three points the whole game!"

And one ranted: "How do you take your best player out? "I'm fuming right now, Salah can win us the game, create chances at any minute of the game."

But one questioned: "Why is he crying? It’s not like he was having a great game." And a second commented: "Big baby as Roy Keane would say!"

Before a third argued: "A time of transition where you need senior players to stand up and show leadership. This ain't it."

Neither the Salah-less Reds nor the Blues could find a breakthrough in the dying embers of the match, meaning the spoils were shared in their first Premier League outings of the season.

 A lively first half saw Salah hit the bar before providing a delightful assist for Luis Diaz to poke home the opener inside 20 minutes. He thought he'd got on the scoresheet himself when finishing past Robert Sanchez, but VAR ruled him offside.

Chelsea hit back through debutant defender Axel Disasi who bundled home from Ben Chilwell's header. Chilwell thought he'd put his side ahead soon after, but his goal was also ruled out after he'd gone slightly too early.
