Jurgen Klopp has called for more protection for Sadio Mane after hitting out at accusations of diving from the Liverpool forward.
Mane played 90 minutes of the 2-0 win at Arsenal on Wednesday as the Reds went to within a single point of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table. Goals from Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino were enough in the second half as Liverpool won their ninth successive game to close the gap further on Pep Guardiola's side, but Klopp was frustrated with some of the decisions that went against Mane.
And the manager fumed against claims that the Senegal star goes down too easily as he launched a plea for more help for his No.10 going forward from the match officials.
