Jurgen Klopp charged by FA after Liverpool manager details Paul Tierney exchange

Here is your morning Liverpool digest on Wednesday, May 3.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp charged by FA following chaotic scenes and referee accusations

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been charged for alleged improper conduct by the Football Association (FA) after comments he made about referee Paul Tierney.

The FA released a statement on Tuesday afternoon confirming the decision - and stated Klopp has until Friday to respond to allegations that his comments about the referee 'imply bias, and/or question the integrity of the referee, and/or are personal/offensive, and/or bring the game into disrepute'.

It comes after the incident in question against Tottenham on Sunday afternoon. Following a pulsating match, Klopp celebrated wildly in front of fourth official John Brooks, after Liverpool forward Diogo Jota came off the bench to grab a dramatic late winner.

Klopp went on to accuse Tierney of uttering an inappropriate comment, before questioning what the referee has against his side due to previously contested high-profile decisions.
