Fulham 2-2 Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp's excuse after Premier League draw mocked by rival fans

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool failed to clinch all three points against Fulham in their 2022/23 Premier League opener on Saturday afternoon.

Klopp’s side went into the game against the newly-promoted side as the heavy favourites.

But they were second best in the first-half and were 1-0 down at the break courtesy of Aleksandar Mitrović’s opener.

The Reds improved after the break, largely thanks to Darwin Nunez’s introduction.

The Uruguayan levelled proceedings as he marked his Premier League debut with a goal.

Mitrovic made it 2-1 as he won and then converted a penalty, but Mohamed Salah’s late equaliser ensured the two sides shared the spoils.

Klopp has made a habit of making excuses whenever his side lose in the past few years.

And he was at it again in his post-match interview with BT Sport.

The German manager was not overly happy with the ‘dry’ pitch, which didn’t make it easy for his side.
