Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp charged by FA after red card during Man City win

 

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been charged by the FA after he was shown a red card during his side's 1-0 win over champions Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday

The Football Association have confirmed that Jurgen Klopp has been charged following Liverpool ’s win over Manchester City.

The Kop boss was shown a red card by referee Anthony Taylor after angrily protesting when Mohamed Salah wasn’t awarded a free-kick during a tussle with Bernardo Silva. Klopp had been waiting to discover whether he would be formally charged ahead of Wednesday's clash with West Ham and will now have until Friday to respond.

“Jurgen Klopp has been charged with a breach of FA Rule E3 following the Premier League game between Liverpool and Manchester City on Sunday,” a statement reads. “It is alleged that the Liverpool manager’s behaviour during the 86th minute of this game was improper and he has until Friday to provide a response.”

Klopp admitted it was a case of one frustration too many during the tempestuous victory, which could transform his side’s season. "I explained after the game, in this moment you could not bring me in this mood. No chance,” he said before he was charged.

“But the whole game led to that maybe a little bit. The way it went, the way it was a very, very intense game with a lot of decisions which both managers didn't understand on both sides.

"For me it was like, I don't know, in Germany we say, 'the one drop that made the bucket overflow.' I'm not happy with my reaction but that's the way it was and everybody saw it.”
