The FA is planning to punish Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp for his interview in which he attacked referee Paul Tierney.
In response to his enraged remarks regarding referee Paul Tierney in his post-match interview at Anfield on Sunday, April 30, Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp is expected to face charges from the FA.
Following the Reds' thrilling 4-3 victory over Tottenham, Klopp rushed over to celebrate Diogo Jota's injury-time winner in front of fourth official John Brooks.
The Liverpool manager was then given a yellow card by Tierney after he had expressed his displeasure at the decision to give Tottenham a free-kick that resulted in Richarlison's equaliser just seconds earlier.
The Anfield drama was the most recent episode in a long-running spat between Klopp and the referee, who was accused of having an agenda against Liverpool after the game.
After the game, Klopp commented on Sky Sports, "What he (Tierney) said to me then when he gave me the yellow card. That’s not possible. But it’s not OK as well,’ adding Tierney said something ‘unacceptable’ to him.
According to PGMOL, they reviewed Tierney's audio from the game and found that he behaved "professionally throughout," accusing Klopp of fabricating information regarding the official's conduct.
The organisation that oversees referees issued a statement on Sunday stating that it was aware of the remarks made by Jurgen Klopp during his team's match against Tottenham Hotspur.
‘Match officials in the Premier League are recorded in all games via a communications system and having fully reviewed the audio of referee Paul Tierney from today’s fixture, we can confirm he acted in a professional manner throughout, including when issuing the caution to the Liverpool manager so, therefore, we strongly refute any suggestion that Tierney’s actions were improper.’
