Garth Crooks has admitted that he 'sat with his mouth ajar' as James Milner and Virgil van Dijk clashed during Liverpool's 2-1 Premier League defeat against Manchester United.
Jurgen Klopp's side suffered their first defeat of the season at Old Trafford on August 22 - with Mohamed Salah grabbing a consolation goal after Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford scored for the hosts.
Sancho's opening goal in the 16th minute led to Milner confronting defender Van Dijk for his questionable positioning before the ball hit the back of the net, with captain Jordan Henderson also berating Salah after United's second goal of the clash.
