Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has reiterated he has no excuse for his sending off against Manchester City but says such emotionally charged reactions can happen during games of such magnitude.
And the Reds manager, who was charged with improper behaviour by the Football Association on Tuesday, claimed a post-match chat with the officials was calm and civil on Sunday evening.
Klopp was dismissed by Anthony Taylor late on during the 1-0 win against Pep Guardiola's side for an angry reaction aimed at the referee's assistant, Gary Beswick, after match-winner Mohamed Salah was not given a foul after being dragged off balance by Bernardo Silva near the corner flag.
