Jurgen Klopp expected harsher FA punishment after 'pretty negative' reaction to Liverpool boss

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he was expecting an even longer suspension after being slapped with a touchline ban for comments regarding referee Paul Tierney.

Klopp was fined £75,000 and banished from the touchline for two Reds games - one suspended - following comments made after the 4-3 Premier League win against Tottenham Hotspur last month.

It means Klopp will be in the stands for Saturday's final home game against Aston Villa, although the second fixture is suspended until the end of the 2023/24 season on the condition the Reds boss does not commit any further breaches of FA Rule E3 in the meantime.
