Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was snappy with a reporter after their defeat at West Ham.

Klopp failed to hide his frustration as big decisions went against his Liverpool side in the 3-2 defeat to West Ham.

The Reds were beaten for the first time this season after a game full of controversy at the London Stadium.

West Ham opened the scoring in the early stages of the first half when Alisson punched a corner into his own net under pressure from Angelo Ogbonna.

Furious Liverpool players protested for a foul but after a lengthy VAR check the goal was allowed.

Aaron Cresswell was then fortunate to see red when his follow through caught Henderson high up on the shin.

Asked by BBC Sport which decisions he wasn't happy with, Klopp shot back with: “It's really interesting you ask that. I'm not sure I want to answer the question if you don't know the situation I'm talking about.

“Do you not think [Alisson was impeded for the first goal]? Is your job not to have an opinion? Okay that's nice.

"What can Alisson do? That is why the goalie is protected. If a player goes up in the air with his arm, it is an important part of the body for the goalkeeper.

The Liverpool boss was then asked to share whether he felt Cresswell should have been sent off, sarcastically replying: “My God. I'm not your puppy. Hopefully, you have an opinion yourself. All good."
