'He kills him!' - Why Man City didn't concede late penalty vs Liverpool FC as Jurgen Klopp put in his place

Jurgen Klopp pre-empted the official explanation for the late controversy during Liverpool's draw with Manchester City, and said he expects a call from PGMOL chief Howard Webb on Monday.

In another interview, Klopp said: "It's a clear penalty, somebody will explain the reason why it's not or Howard Webb will call us tomorrow, both things will not change the result!"
