Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp charged by FA after red card during fiery clash with Manchester City

Jurgen Klopp has been charged over his behaviour during Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Manchester City on Sunday.

Klopp was sent off by referee Anthony Taylor during the closing stages of a tense game at Anfield after appearing to shout in a linesman’s face.

The German felt Liverpool should have been awarded a free-kick for a foul on Mohamed Salah by City midfielder Bernardo Silva.

After the game, Klopp admitted his dismissal was “probably deserved” and claimed “you cannot have this situation”, describing the incident as “the clearest foul I ever saw”.

A statement from the FA read: "Jurgen Klopp has been charged with a breach of FA Rule E3 following the Premier League game between Liverpool FC and Manchester City FC on Sunday.

"It is alleged that the Liverpool FC manager’s behaviour during the 86th minute of this game was improper, and he has until Friday (October 21) to provide a response."
