Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was left angry with VAR after defeat to Leicester City.

Klopp fumed at the VAR decision to allow Leicester's equaliser to stand.

After the 3-1 loss, he told talkSPORT: "We conceded a really strange goal – I've said this plenty of times but it's VAR. VAR should be completely objective, but it's not.

"Because somebody has to make a decision whether it's offside or not and which moment is the moment when we judge the offside.

"I've seen [the replay] back plenty of times now and how I saw it is that Maddison didn't even touch the ball when he judged the situation.

"That's obviously a situation where Stuart Attwell has to show responsibility for why he chose that situation."

And when asked to clarify whether Attwell had paused the clip at the wrong time, he added: "Yes, of course. His foot [Maddison] is behind the ball, so how can somebody know he already touched ball?

"A millisecond later and three Leicester players are closer to the goal. That's it."
