Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has laid into the match officials after the Carabao Cup Final.

The Reds beat Chelsea 1-0 on Sunday at Wembley, claiming yet another trophy for the German head coach.

Klopp, who is leaving the club in the summer, claimed referee Chris Kavanagh was not up to the level of the match.

He told Sky Sports: There were two teams that were fighting extremely hard and the referee was not at the level of the game, that's how it is.

I'm sorry for that, I know they'll make a story out of that but - it wasn't even a foul? He didn't even whistle for a foul.

And then, the fourth official explains to me 'we cannot give a card because -' oh, good idea. These boys they are, I'm not sure if it is too much or too quick for them but that situation, it was obvious.

The doc [doctor] came up to me and saw the foot stamping on the ankle - that's everything you need for a card."
