'At the minimum' - Former Premier League explains what Jurgen Klopp should get after FA charge

Keith Hackett wants Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp to be given an extended touchline ban "at the minimum" after what happened in the dramatic win over Tottenham Hotspur.

After Diogo Jota scored Liverpool's winning goal in the 4-3 victory over Spurs, Klopp celebrated in the face of the fourth official, for which he was cautioned, and then after the match asked what referee Paul Tierney "had against us".

The Reds boss has now been charged by the FA for his actions and former Premier League Hackett wants Klopp to receive a longer touchline ban.

He told Football Insider: "Klopp has questioned the integrity of the match official and he’s rightly been charged. If there is a recording of what happened, that will be brought forward for the FA to see.

“I haven’t seen anyone supporting what Klopp did. It’s a passionate game, but it’s becoming an unwanted sideshow. I don’t mind managers showing passion, but you’ve got to stay in your technical area.

“I think he should get another, longer, touchline ban, at the minimum. The FA are in a slightly difficult position with the incident during the game as he was only issued a yellow card.”
