Jurgen Klopp launches rant at referee and accuses Brentford of "stretching the rules"

Jurgen Klopp has blasted the officials after Liverpool's 3-1 defeat at Brentford - and admitted he has "no clue" how the Bees' third goal didn't get disallowed.

Liverpool missed the chance to close the gap on fourth-place Manchester United to a point at the Brentford Community Stadium as they crashed to a convincing defeat in west London. Ibrahima Konate's own-goal gave Thomas Frank's men the lead, before Yoane Wissa's added a second just before the break.

However, Klopp was unhappy about the "pushing" and "holding" inside the box leading to the opening goal and in another case where Wissa saw another strike disallowed from a corner. Although Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain pulled one back for the Reds in the second-half, Bryan Mbeumo put the game beyond doubt with a terrific finish.
