Jurgen Klopp has apologised for the way in which he acted during Sunday’s 4-3 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

The Reds’ boss has been heavily criticised by former Premier League officials Keith Hackett, Mark Clattenburg and Peter Walton over the way in which he celebrated in the face of fourth official John Brooks before accusing Paul Tierney of uttering an inappropriate comment and questioning what Tierney has against Liverpool.

When speaking after the game on Sunday afternoon, Klopp said of Tierney: “We have our history with Tierney. I really don’t know what he has against us. He has said there is no problems, but that cannot be true. How he looks at me, I don’t understand it. What he said to me when he gave me the yellow card is not OK. I will not say anything. The refs don’t say what is said, so I don’t

I see him at Man City or Liverpool”–Rising star tipped to join one of PL pair

Liverpool and Manchester City are unlikely to face competition from Real Madrid for Celta Vigo star Gabriel Veiga, with the youngster destined for the Premier League.

That’s according to Bernabéu Digital journalists Javier Rubiano, Aitor Bris and Jorge Cascón, who can’t see the 20-year-old ending up at the Santiago Bernabeu.
