Klopp: 'I deserved red card' in City win

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp accepted he "went over the top" and "lost it" so fully deserved his red card in his side's 1-0 victory over Manchester City.

The Reds boss was furious referee Anthony Taylor had not given a foul on goalscorer Mohamed Salah by Bernardo Silva late in the game but his anger, also directed at the assistant referee just yards from the incident, saw him dismissed from the touchline.

Anfield's technical area had been a fiery place, with City boss Pep Guardiola apoplectic that Phil Foden's earlier goal had been overturned by Taylor after VAR advised him to view the pitchside monitor for an Erling Haaland foul on Fabinho in the build-up.

"This is Anfield, every time you come here lately unfortunately this is Anfield," said the Catalan.

What Klopp said to the officials remains unclear but it was enough to see him instantly dismissed.

"The red card was my fault. I went over the top in the moment but I don't think I was disrespectful to anyone," said the Reds boss.

"When you look at the pictures back I know myself at 55 years old the way I look in these moments is already worth a red card.

"I lost it in that moment and that is not OK but a little bit of an excuse. I would like to mention how can you not whistle that foul? How on earth is that possible?"

Taylor had allowed the players something of a free rein in the game as he tried to play advantage as often as he could but occasionally that was the wrong decision in a high-tempo, high stakes game.

"I heard now that people said it was Anfield that made the VAR decision," added Klopp.

"With a foul on Mo, Anfield had no chance to make any impact. It's a foul on Fabinho (in the lead up to Foden's goal), I think we agree on that. Is it not enough to pull somebody
