Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has broken his silence over a pitchside spat that took place between him and Frank Lampard on Wednesday night.
The Chelsea boss was beside himself with fury after Liverpool were awarded a free kick for a controversial foul on Sadio Mane. The set-piece resulted in the Reds extending their lead to 2-0 through an inch-perfect Trent Alexander-Arnold free-kick.

Footage of the Englishman ranting on the sideline has been doing the rounds on Twitter as he complained about the decision to award the foul in Liverpool’s favour.
Klopp has spoken out about the ordeal, with James Pearce reporting that the German has defended his side against claims of being arrogant.
“We are not arrogant. We are pretty much the opposite,” Klopp stated. “Frank was in a competitive mood, I respect that a lot. For me after the game it’s over. What Frank has to learn is to finish it with the last whistle, he didn’t do that. I don’t like that.”
