Former England captain Alan Shearer has sided with Mohamed Salah in his bust-up with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

Dropped to the bench for Saturday's 2-2 draw at West Ham, Salah exchanged angry words with Klopp as he was substituted on late in the game.

Shearer later said: "We don't know what Klopp has said to him there. He's said something that's riled him.

"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 ignores Jurgen, he gives the Liverpool fans a little round of applause and goes straight down the tunnel.

"But we're guessing as to what Jurgen said to him. I understand that if Mo has the right hump because the amount of times he's been Liverpool's superstar and their saviour.

"He's got 17 goals in 25 league starts. Anyone else you'd look at that and think 'unbelievable'. It's a shame it's going to end like that because of what Klopp's done and what Salah's done."
