Jurgen Klopp initially feared that he'd been targeted with a glass bottle thrown by a supporter during Liverpool 's frustrating 0-0 draw with Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday.
Everton defender Conor Coady thought he'd broken the deadlock for the hosts in the second half but his goal was ruled out for offside by VAR. Amidst the fury felt among Everton fans, a bottle was thrown towards Klopp's technical area and almost hit the Liverpool manager. Thankfully it didn't, nor was it glass as Klopp presumed at first.
"I thought it was a glass bottle but it was not," the Reds boss explained in his post-match press conference. "I saw it now because it's still at the 'crime scene'. No, no, it was a plastic bottle. In the moment it looked like a glass bottle, that would have been really dangerous but it was a plastic bottle."
