Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp does not believe Fulham's goal was legal.

The Reds had to settle for a point away from home after a tough game at Craven Cottage.

Fulham could have earned a penalty, while the Reds were given a spot kick of their own to equalise.

Bobby Decordova-Reid scored Fulham's goal, but Klopp felt it should have been disallowed due to a foul in the build-up on Mohamed Salah.

"What did you think? Can I ask your opinion?" the German manager asked of the reporter who posed the question over the goal.

Klopp continued: "Neither of our opinions are 0.0% relevant, because we can't change the decision.

"It's a clear foul, nothing else. It's not a yellow card or a red card, but the player who passed the ball gained an advantage, gets the ball by pushing Mo. If he doesn't push Mo, Mo gets the ball.

"It's not about how hard the foul is, it's about the advantage. Two hands. Lee Mason, the VAR, says what – normal contact?

"I'm not sure what Lee Mason is doing at home, but that's not normal contact in football.

"It's enough contact to gain an advantage, so it's a foul. But we can't change it, and I only spoke about it because you asked."
