The Premier League referee David Coote has been suspended after video footage emerged of him calling Jürgen Klopp a “German cunt” and Liverpool “shit”.
In the clip that surfaced on social media on Monday Coote claimed that Klopp was “arrogant” and had accused him of lying after a 1-1 draw between Liverpool and Burnley during Project Restart in 2020. Coote took charge of Liverpool’s 2-0 win against Aston Villa on Saturday.
