Premier League has been announced when Liverpool vs Manchester City match will be replayed
VAR reviewed the incident but backed referee Michael Oliver’s decision to award no penalty, forcing Liverpool to settle for a draw.
Former official Dean, who was on Sky Sports commentary, believes it could have been a penalty and described Doku as’very, very fortunate’.
However, Klopp appeared to cynically acknowledge Dean’s job with the broadcaster and hinted at finding a means to avoid granting it.
In his post-match interview with Sky Sports, the Liverpool manager claimed it was a ‘100 percent’ foul and that Doku should have been booked.
Klopp remarked, “You’ll find people…” I believe you employed Mike Dean; does he now work for Sky? Congratulations; it’s an excellent position, by the way.
“He will discover something, as will the others. It is a punishment for all football players around the world. If you don’t believe it’s one, you might not be a football fan.”
Liverpool fans on social media cheered his apparent jibe at Dean, with one on X writing, “Shots fired.”
“Klopp’s I Don’t Give A F*** Farewell Tour is endlessly entertaining,” another person wrote. “Mike Dean casually two-foots here just because he can.”
A third person stated, “This completely killed me.” Klopp is sticking it to Mike Dean.”
“Klopp firing shots at Mike Dean too, I thought I couldn’t love the guy anymore than I already did,” he added.
Daniel Sturridge, a former Liverpool player, left the Sky Sports studio in stitches with a joke about his blazer.
City seized the lead at Anfield when Kevin De Bruyne sent a superb corner from the right to John Stones, who scored from close range.
Liverpool equalised with a Mac Allister penalty after Ederson fouled Darwin Nunez, who was substituted due to an injury incurred in the incident.
The penalty appeals came late in stoppage time, and the Reds failed to capitalise on the resultant corner.
Klopp’s team is tied with Arsenal at the top of the table, but only on goal difference, with City trailing in third by one point.
