Liverpool's season unravels further with a 2-2 draw at West Ham that further rules them out of the Premier League title race, while outgoing manager Jurgen Klopp and star winger Mohamed Salah engage in a heated touchline confrontation.

Mohamed Salah and Jurgen Klopp engaged in touchline argument as Liverpool 's season continues to unravel with 2-2 draw at West Ham Liverpool fell further out of contention for the English Premier League title on Saturday, but that's perhaps the least of Jurgen Klopp 's problems.

The incident happened as Salah was preparing to enter as a substitute soon after Michail Antonio's 77th-minute equaliser. It was the second time in Liverpool's last three games that Salah has been benched, an unusual position for one of the club's greatest scorers who has rarely been dropped in his time at Anfield.Whether Salah remains at Liverpool beyond this season remains to be seen — he was linked heavily with a move to Saudi Arabia last year — but Klopp is sure to be going.

A 5-1 loss at Newcastle confirmed Sheffield United as the first team to be relegated from the top flight this season. The Blades are 10 points from safety with three matches remaining, ensuring they will be going straight back to the Championship."We have not been good enough," said manager Chris Wilder, who took over in December for a second spell in charge after Paul Heckingbottom was fired."It's an incredibly young side and there is a complete lack of leadership out there.

Substitute Zeki Amdouni's 87th-minute penalty — earned after he was bundled over by United goalkeeper Andre Onana — cancelled out Antony's goal in the 79th and secured a point for next-to-last Burnley, which is two points from safety.
