Jurgen Klopp FUMES at referee Paul Tierney after the official yellow carded him

Jurgen Klopp admitted he crossed a line after celebrating Liverpool’s dramatic victory over Tottenham by shouting in the face of the fourth official – and then pulling his hamstring.

Diogo Jota scored an injury-time winner at Anfield, 99 seconds after Richarlison had completed Spurs’ comeback from 3-0 down in the dying moments of a Premier League classic.

Klopp reacted to Jota’s goal by running straight to fourth official John Brooks, only to then hurt his hamstring.He was given a yellow card by referee Paul Tierney and the Liverpool boss admitted it was: ‘Fair punishment for behaving not the right away.’

But Klopp tried to defend his actions, insisting: ‘Of course we are emotional in these moments. It’s difficult.’It is not okay, we shouldn’t do that, yes, we are role models, all clear.

‘But we are human beings first and foremost. Before you are a role model you’re a human being and that happens in the moment.

It came after Diogo Jota secured the win for the Reds deep into injury-time against Tottenham

Klopp added: ‘Fair enough, I’m already punished, I got a yellow card on top of that, I think (Tierney) thought I should have got a different punishment but because of the fourth official, it was a yellow card. That’s it. We have to ask Mr Tierney what is going on.’

Klopp took aim at Tierney after these two sides met last season and yesterday the German said: ‘We have history with Mr Tierney, I really don’t know what this man has with us. He always will say there’s nothing and it’s not true. It cannot be.’

Klopp wouldn’t divulge details of their conversation here but he claimed: ‘What he said to me when he gave me the yellow card… it’s not okay.’

He added: ‘I have pain for a few days, Mr Tierney not. (Next game) I will be ready to do what I always do and the celebrations – if we have something to celebrate will be much calmer.
