Jurgen Klopp has confirmed he will hold talks with Mohamed Salah following Liverpool's thrilling draw against Arsenal on Sunday.

Liverpool came from two goals down to earn a point against the Premier League leaders as Salah and Roberto Firmino cancelled out Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus' first-half goals.

Second-half substitute Firmino headed home three minutes from time to level the game, but Liverpool had a chance to equalise earlier in the match from the spot.

Rob Holding fouled Diogo Jota inside the box, conceding a penalty. Salah stepped up and took the resulting spot kick, but fluffed his lines. He failed to find the back of the net, hitting the penalty wide to the dismay of Klopp, who thought he had scored.

It's the second penalty the prolific Egyptian forward has missed in recent games, having smashed his effort over the bar against Bournemouth.

Klopp will subsequently hold talks with his star man to decide if he will remain the club's penalty taker.

Speaking after the result, he said: "I only saw the penalty after the game. A few people in the crowd reacted, so when you don’t see the penalty, you react on what the people see and a few people obviously thought the ball was in but it wasn’t.

"He missed the goal. So that’s why for a second the fist, and then I realised, 'Oh, Mo isn’t celebrating.' And then I realised the ball wasn’t it. That’s it."

The German boss continued: "That’s something we will talk about but not here."

Roy Keane, who was in the studio for Liverpool vs. Arsenal, WASN'T confident as Salah stepped up to take the penalty.

Asked by Dave Jones if he fancied the 30-year-old to convert the penalty, the Manchester United legend replied: "No I didn’t."

Keane continued by slamming Salah for 'smiling' after his failed spot kick against Bournemouth.

"Do you know he missed a penalty a few weeks ago at Bournemouth and I was really annoyed, I nearly put my foot through the television watching it because he was smiling five minutes after he missed it," he added.

"Today I was looking at him and I didn’t feel it, and obviously if you don’t hit the target it’s impossible to score, so I just didn’t fancy him, I don’t know what it was."

Who should take Liverpool's next penalty? Let us know.
