The Reds boss was unhappy with match official behavior

Liverpool’s manager Jurgen Klopp has claimed that match official Paul Tiernay has something against his team after Merseyside’s breathtaking 4-3 win against Tottenham Hotspur.

Klopp was booked in the dying moments after celebrating Diogo Jota’s stoppage time winner in front of the fourth official in an uncontrolled way. It was payback for an earlier disagreement between the German boss and the referee, as the 54-year old felt there was no free-kick, which eventually led to Spurs equalizer.

“We have our history with Tierney, I really don’t know what he has against us,” Klopp told Sky Sports.

“He has said there [are] no problems but that cannot be true.

“How he looks at me, I don’t understand it. In England nobody has to clarify these situations, it’s really tricky and hard to understand.

“What he said to me when he gave me the yellow card is not OK.”

Klopp’s comments have been noted by the PGMOL and he is currently under investigation for improper behavior.
