Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has angrily accused his opposite number at Arsenal of pressuring the referee.
Klopp was unhappy with the behavior of Spanish head coach Mikel Arteta, whose Gunners claimed a 3-2 win over the Reds at the weekend.
Despite his side going down at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, Klopp focused his ire on Arteta after the match.
"The situation around the penalty happens, I think everyone agrees we should've kicked that ball a bit earlier over the roof, we didn't do that, the ball comes back, again, it's very soft, if, if, if… but we can't take that back," Klopp told Viaplay.
"First half we don't get that back, that's the handball from Gabriel, the ref tells us we can talk to him after the game, we can ask him what does he think and he will tell me this was no handball but this is a foul, that's obviously not necessary this conversation.
"There were a couple of situations, let me say it like this, again, the result is the result, done. But Joe Gomez's yellow card, a defender, a yellow card for this throw-in situation. In the first half I don't know how often and how long Arsenal were looking for an option in a throw-in yet nothing happened, and I'm fine with that.
"But Joey is there and Mikel is having a go at the ref and then he [Oliver] says, 'okay, yellow card' from a distance and you think, 'yellow card, for that?'. So again, nothing to do with the result, just these situations, they don't help but you're right, they're useless conversations [with the referee]."
