Every word of Jurgen Klopp's letter to FA in full before Liverpool touchline ban

Jurgen Klopp submitted a letter to the FA explaining his actions during Liverpool's 4-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

The German has been handed a two-match touchline ban and £75,000 fine for his media comments following the last-minute win, having seemingly implied that referee Paul Tierney was biased against his side. Meanwhile, he had been booked by the official following Diogo Jota's winner after celebrating in the face of fourth official John Brooks.

With Klopp admitting improper conduct after being charged by the FA, an independent Regulatory Commission imposed these sanctions following a hearing. And in their written reasons, they included the Liverpool manager's letter, as part of his defence, in full to the FA explaining his in-game actions and apologising for his comments about Tierney.
