Klopp bemoans the referee’s judgment despite Liverpool defeating Man City 1-0.
Despite Liverpool defeating Manchester City against all odds, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp finds reason to grumble once more about the referee’s decision.
Mohamed Salah’s strike in the 76th minute gave Liverpool a victory over Manchester City that defied all predictions made prior to the game.
The feisty encounter at Anfield saw Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp sent off after an angry reaction to a decision made by the referee.
The German manager addressed his actions immediately following the game, but he also provided justification for them by criticizing the referee’s decision.

Klopp speaks on his red card:
“Yeah, it’s about emotion, of course. So, of course, red card, my fault,” Klopp said while gracefully admitting to deserving the red card.
“I went over the top in the moment, I don’t think I was disrespectful to anybody but when you look at the pictures back – I know myself for 55 years that the way I look in these moments is already worth a red card,”
“I know that, who cares what I say? I lost it in that moment and that is not OK, but I think a little bit as an excuse I would like to mention, how can you not whistle that foul? How on earth is it possible? And I wish I could get an explanation,” the German said in typical fashion.
Klopp continued his rant, “Why would you do that? Both teams, it was not one, but I heard now that people said it was Anfield that made the VAR decision [to disallow Foden’s goal]. With a foul on Mo, Anfield had no chance to make any impact.”
