Jurgen Klopp has admitted he didn’t agree with referee John Brooks’ decision to disallow Cody Gakpo’s goal in Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.
The Reds were trailing when the forward had appeared to equalise, tapping home after Ibrahima Konate’s shot from Virgil van Dijk’s cutback had been blocked on the line. However, the Dutch defender had been in an offside position when the ball fell to him via a Villa defender.
Speaking to reporters after the final whistle, Klopp revealed he had spoken to Brooks, who disallowed the goal after viewing the VAR monitors, about his decision as he shared the official’s explanation for ruling Gakpo’s strike out.
