The Football Association has announced that it is appealing against the decision to let Jurgen Klopp escape a touchline ban for his behaviour against Manchester City.
Klopp was sent off by referee Anthony Taylor after screaming in the face of a linesman who was running past him. The German was angry that Taylor had not awarded Liverpool a free-kick when Mohamed Salah was upended by Bernardo Silva.
Rather than be given a touchline ban, as had been expected, Klopp was instead fined £30,000 for the incident. He had been found guilty of breaching FA Rule E3 and the Reds boss did not contest his charge, with responsibility for punishing him resting with an Independent Regulatory Commission.
