Liverpool’s manager Jurgen Klopp experienced a memorable Sunday afternoon as his side beat Manchester City 1-0 in the Premier League and was sent off.
The German was animated as ever, but he went over the top after a free-kick wasn’t awarded to Liverpool for what looked like a foul on Mohamed Salah.
The linesman was right in the middle of the incident but waved off play.
Klopp became furious at Anthony Taylor and began to yell at him. Taylor was forced to send Klopp packing.
The former Borussia Dortmund boss later admitted he ‘deserved’He was sent off but was furious that he wasn’t given a free kick to his team.
In the end, it didn’t matter as The Reds wonKlopp was the last to enter the pitch at the conclusion of the game in order to take in the cheers from the Anfield crowd.
A straight red is punishable by a one-match ban.
This would mean Klopp will miss the Reds’ next game against West Ham on Wednesday.
However, if Klopp’s reaction is deemed to be violent conduct, the touchline ban can be extended.
Given he didn’t touch the linesman, it would be a surprise if the German was to receive a longer ban.
There is still the possibility of an extended ban.
If Klopp gets a one-game suspension, then he will be back for Liverpool’s clash at Nottingham Forest on Saturday lunchtime, which will be live on talkSPORT.
