Martin Keown clashes with Leeds United fan over Jesse Marsch FA decision
Former Arsenal defender and talkSPORT pundit Martin Keown has clashed with a Leeds fan who phoned into the radio station to discuss the FA's decision to not hand Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp a touchline ban.
Klopp appeared to break the same rules as Jesse Marsch after running down the touchline to scream at an official for missing a challenge on Mohamed Salah by Bernardo Silva before being sent off late on in the game.
Marsch was reprimanded a month earlier during Leeds' 5-2 loss to Brentford for similarly shouting at the referee and was also sent off and served a one match ban against Aston Villa.

However, Klopp has been allowed to stay on the touchline this weekend despite being sent off - he's been fined £30,000 while Marsch was fined £10,000.
A Leeds fan called Stuart phoned into talkSPORT this morning complaining about the FA treating the situations differently where in his eyes, they were very similar.
"There’s a lot of teams that aren’t part of the big six getting a lot of decisions against them, VAR goes this way as well. If they’re going to set a precedent by banning one manager on the touchline then they need to do the same with everybody else.
"I don’t condone what Jesse Marsch did, he got a touchline ban for that, but it should be the same for everyone."
Keown then replied: "Do you think Marsch is helping his cause by tapping the watch and trying to police the game? Klopp’s not tapping his watch and going at every single decision as Marsch does."
The fan clapped back with: "Marsch got the ban for foul and abusive language, which is exactly what Klopp has done as well."
Jurgen Klopp makes Leeds United admission as he discusses Liverpool injury concern
Leeds United haven’t been getting the results their performances deserve, according to Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp. The Whites make the journey to Anfield on Saturday evening and they’ll be looking to snap their eight-game winless streak in the Premier League.
Jesse Marsch’s side last tasted success in August as they stunned Chelsea at Elland Road, but they have picked up just two points since that warm afternoon and they dropped into the relegation zone following Sunday’s loss to Fulham. Klopp, though, has suggested Leeds are in something of a false position.
The Reds boss has watched United’s last few outings and he’s preparing his side to face a dangerous and threatening Leeds outfit this Saturday.
David Seaman annoyed by what Jesse Marsch did as he shares Leeds United concerns
Former England international David Seaman says a trip to Anfield to face Liverpool is far from welcome amid Leeds United's dismal run of form under Jesse Marsch.
Although Liverpool sit 12 points behind league leaders Arsenal in eighth, the Reds are unbeaten at Anfield in 29 league games (won 22, drawn 7). Furthermore, Leeds haven't tasted victory on the road against Liverpool since 2001, and head into the game fresh off the back of four straight defeats.
Leeds tumbled into the relegation zone with a 3-2 defeat against Fulham at Elland Road last Sunday and Seaman has doubts over whether Marsch will still be in the dugout when the World Cup starts in November.
"Liverpool against Leeds, and as a Leeds fan I am not looking forward to this," the former Leeds academy goalkeeper revealed on his podcast Seaman Says. "This isn't what we needed after getting beaten at home by Fulham.
