Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has provided a more detailed verdict on his clash with referee Paul Tierney in Tottenham's defeat to Liverpool over the weekend. Following the spectacular 4-3 win by his side, Klopp spoke about his latest incident with the 42-year-old which saw him booked.
"We have our history with Tierney," Klopp said to Sky Sports on Sunday. "I really don't know what he has against us. He has said there [are] no problems but that cannot be true. How he looks at me, I don't understand it. In England nobody has to clarify these situations, it's really tricky and hard to understand. What he said to me when he gave me the yellow card is not OK."
That same evening the PGMOL then released a statement detailing that they "strongly refute" the claims made by Klopp. Ahead of the weekend action, the decision was then made by the Premier League to remove Tierney from an on-pitch role which sees him instead assigned to the roles of fourth official and Video Assistant.
