Jurgen Klopp charged after Liverpool vs Everton celebration

Jurgen Klopp has been charged with misconduct by the FA for his celebrations during Liverpool 's last-gasp 1-0 win over Everton on Sunday.

The Reds boss took to the pitch after Divock Origi's 96th-minute header, hugging goalkeeper Alisson Becker before returning to his technical area.

He later expressed regret for his actions, telling reporters in his post-match press conference that he felt compelled to apologise to opposite number Marco Silva.

He said: "I’ve said it now a few times in a few interviews, but immediately after the game I apologised to Marco Silva [for my celebration].

"We spoke to each other, I told him how much I respect his work because it is incredible what he has done with that team.

"They are just an outstanding side. It was a really difficult game today - derbies are always difficult but today it was a completely different difficult to the last few years.

"What can I say about it? I didn’t want to run [when Origi scored], it was not my plan, I didn’t want to run to Ali and I couldn’t stop. It’s not cool, but it happened.

"More important things happened during the 95 minutes."

Despite his mea culpa, Klopp is now facing an FA charge and has until 6pm on December 6 to respond.
