Jurgen Klopp furious with Arsenal penalty decision as Michael Oliver and VAR questioned in rant

Jurgen Klopp has questioned the decision of Michael Oliver and the Video Assistant Referee to award Arsenal a penalty which ultimately cost Liverpool a point. Thiago brought Gabriel Jesus down inside the visitors' area after knocking the back of the striker's heel when challenging for a cross.

There was great controversy as to whether the contact from the Spain international was sufficient to warrant a spot-kick, with several confrontations breaking out among the on-field players. As tempers flared and the verdict was taken to VAR, Bukayo Saka kept his cool before dispatching his effort from 12-yards to hand the Gunners the lead with little under a quarter of an hour to play.

The 21-year-old secured three points for his side in what was a dramatic 3-2 win as the north Londoners returned to the top of the Premier League. However, after the game, the Liverpool boss had a lot to say on the referees' decision to award Arsenal a penalty - it's fair to say that Klopp isn't best pleased to say the least.
