What Jurgen Klopp did to Liverpool crowd after Mikel Arteta altercation vs Arsenal

Jurgen Klopp sent a message to the Anfield crowd after Liverpool’s opening goal against Arsenal.

The Reds were taking on the Gunners in the Premier League on Saturday night in their first match back after the international break.

Klopp made two changes that lost to West ham prior to the hiatus, with Jordan Henderson and Andy Robertson dropping out of the team due to injury.

In their place came Kostas Tsimikas at left-back and Thiago Alcantara in midfield.

Liverpool opened the scoring after Sadio Mane nodded home a header from a Trent Alexander-Arnold free-kick in the 39th minute.

After the ball hit the back of the net, Klopp celebrated by cupping his hands to his ears in the direction of the Main Stand crowd.

Shortly before Mane’s goal, the Senegalese international was involved in an altercation that led to each manager being separated on the touchline.

Challenging in an aerial duel with Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta was visibly furious which led to a heated exchange of words with Klopp near the fourth official.

After the pair calmed down, referee Michael Oliver booked both Klopp and Arteta for their actions.
