(Reuters) – Juergen Klopp accused referee Paul Tierney of having something “against” Liverpool after their thrilling 4-3 Premier League win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Liverpool led 3-0 after 15 minutes but were pegged back to 3-3 when Richarlison headed past Alisson in stoppage time, with Klopp protesting a free-kick awarded to Tottenham in the build-up to the equaliser.<\/p>\n

Diogo Jota then scored Liverpool’s winner a minute later and Klopp confronted the fourth official before racing down the touchline to celebrate – for which he was shown a yellow card by Tierney.<\/p>\n

Klopp has criticised Tierney in the past, saying he should have shown Spurs striker Harry Kane a red card for a dangerous tackle in a meeting between the sides in 2021, and on Sunday the German manager said Liverpool have “history” with the referee.<\/p>\n

“I really don’t know what he has against us,” Klopp told Sky Sports. “He has said there is no problems but that cannot be true. <\/p>\n

“How he looks at me, I don’t understand it … My celebration was unnecessary, which is fair, but what he said to me when he gave me the yellow card is not OK.”<\/p>\n

Klopp did not provide further details on the incident.<\/p>\n

Referee’s body PGMOL said they were aware of Klopp’s comments, adding: “Match officials in the Premier League are recorded in all games via a communications system. <\/p>\n

“Having fully reviewed the audio of referee Paul Tierney from today’s fixture, we can confirm he acted in a professional manner throughout, including when issuing the caution to the Liverpool manager so, therefore, we strongly refute any suggestion that Tierney’s actions were improper.”<\/p>\n

Klopp has been punished for comments about referees in the past. He was fined 45,000 pounds ($56,502) by the FA in 2019 for remarks about Kevin Friend.<\/p>\n

($1 = 0.7964 pounds)<\/p>\n
