Jurgen Klopp launched into a furious rant after Liverpool slipped to defeat against Brentford, accusing the Bees of “stretching the rules” in their 3-1 win.
The Reds came into the match on a four-game winning run in the Premier League but were comfortably beaten by Thomas Frank’s side. An own goal from Ibrahima Konate and a strike from Yoane Wissa had Brentford 2-1 up before Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain pulled one back.
Liverpool pushed for an equaliser but had their defeat confirmed when Bryan Mbeumo got the better of Konate to score the home side’s third goal. Klopp was angry in his post-match interview and, while he accepted his team’s performance was poor, he lamented the officiating.
