However, after Liverpool forward Diogo Jota scored the winner just a minute later, Klopp celebrated by confronting fourth official John Brooks.<\/p>\n<p>Tierney handed Klopp a yellow card, but the Liverpool boss said after the match he was angered by remarks the referee made to him on the touchline, describing them as \u201cnot OK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a news conference yesterday ahead of his side\u2019s Premier League clash with Fulham, Klopp disclosed what Tierney said: \u201cI couldn\u2019t get close to the fourth official, I felt my muscle [after pulling a hamstring]. That\u2019s it. Then Paul Tierney came over to me, I didn\u2019t expect a red. I expected yellow. He said to me: \u2018For me it\u2019s red but because of [the fourth official], it\u2019s yellow.\u2019 I said, \u2018Red card for what?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went in, tried to calm down and couldn\u2019t when I spoke to [the] press. Then I said that what he said was \u2018not OK.\u2019 I thought it wasn\u2019t OK because it wasn\u2019t a red but I opened the box with that. I should\u2019ve just said he said it was a red card. Rest was how I felt at that moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>British media reported on Tuesday that Klopp faces a lengthy ban for his celebration, with the English Football Association expected to take a firm line to show it is protecting match officials.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about a potential ban, the German coach said he regretted his actions and is bracing for punishment: \u201cI shouldn\u2019t have said what I said, but I didn\u2019t lie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not my hands what goes on now. We won a game 4-3 in a spectacular manner and [the] only headlines I created [were negative]. We expect a reaction because everyone tells us [a punishment] will come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Klopp sustained a hamstring injury during the celebration, which he said would be severe enough to keep a player out for six weeks.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jurgen Klopp celebrated Sunday\u2019s win by confronting fourth official John Brooks \u00a0 Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, revealed the comment referee Paul Tierney made to him as he was booked for his celebration in his side\u2019s thrilling 4-3 victory over Tottenham on Sunday.
