Jurgen Klopp speaks out after Liverpool boss avoided touchline ban and received £30k fine

Jurgen Klopp has said he is neither happy nor relieved after learning his punishment for his red card offence against Manchester City.

The Liverpool manager was sent off in the closing stages of the Reds' 1-0 victory over the reigning Premier League champions, having yelled at the referee's assistant following a challenge between Bernardo Silva and Mohamed Salah. The German has avoided a touchline ban, though, with the FA handing him a £30,000 fine.

This means Klopp will be free to manage his team from the dugout on Saturday as Liverpool host Leeds United at Anfield. The former Borussia Dortmund boss addressed the situation in his pre-match press conference, revealing it was the first red card he has received in more than 20 years as a manager.
