Jurgen Klopp responds to bitter Man City fallout and claims of 'xenophobic' comments

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has called for relations between his side and Manchester City to cool down following the fallout of Sunday's fiery clash between the teams.

The two rivals met at Anfield in the Premier League, with the hosts winning thanks to Mohamed Salah 's second-half strike. Tempers flared throughout the game, with Klopp sent off by referee Anthony Taylor towards the end of the match and Pep Guardiola alleging coins had been thrown at him.
