Jurgen Klopp was shown a red card at the end of Sunday’s powerful game, thanks to the fierce fury of referee Anthony Taylor and assistant referee Gary Beswick for what he described as the clearest free kick ever. After the match, Klopp was quick to lie down as he lost his temper.
The question now is whether he will allow the manager to be in the technical area for Wednesday’s home game against West Ham. According to The Times, it is not automatic for a manager to be suspended after being sent off in a match.
The Football Association (FA) is now awaiting referee Taylor’s report, and he must then decide whether to award Klopp a further sanction.
After a match that saw many incidents on and off the field, this was probably the easiest decision to make for the Etihad, as there was a lot to deal with at Anfield.
