Gary Neville explains why Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp should have been sent off vs Tottenham

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has claimed that Jurgen Klopp should have been sent off during Liverpool's 4-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

The Reds got off to a perfect start at Anfield as Curtis Jones, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah put the hosts 3-0 up inside the opening 15 minutes. However, Spurs fought back through Harry Kane, who netted one back shortly before half-time.

Son Heung-min then made it interesting in the 77th minute before Richarlison netted an equaliser in stoppage time to complete the comeback and send the away supporters into a state of ecstasy. But there was another twist to come.

Liverpool substitute Diogo Jota pounced on the end of a poor Lucas Moura pass less than 60 seconds after Richarlison's equaliser, slotting the ball past an onrushing Fraser Forster to clinch all three points for the Merseyside-based club. As the ball hit the back of the net, Reds manager Klopp approached the fourth official celebrating in his face in a fiery manner, seemingly pulling his hamstring in the process.

But the German's passion didn't impress Neville, who claimed that the former Borussia Dortmund head coach should have received a red card for the way he acted towards the official. Speaking on Sky Sports, the former United right-back said: "Jurgen Klopp should have been sent off for what he did to the fourth official but, like we say, he won’t care. He lives on the edge."
