Angry Jurgen Klopp accuses Mikel Arteta of influencing referee after Liverpool loss

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has angrily accused Mikel Arteta of pressuring referee Michael Oliver into giving Arsenal favourable decisions during Sunday's clash between the two sides.

The Gunners claimed a statement win at the Emirates Stadium in what was a thrilling game between the Premier League giants. Oliver has faced some criticism for the decisions he made during the match though in the aftermath of Arsenal's celebrations.

The main bones of contention have been around the failure to award a penalty to leave for an apparent handball by Gabriel and the decision to point to the spot when Gabriel Jesus was fouled by Thiago. But Klopp was also enraged by Arteta's actions that led to Joe Gomez picking up a yellow-card for time-wasting.
