Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has taken aim at Liverpool counterpart Jurgen Klopp.

Howe says he would not behave in the same manner which saw Klopp sent off following an altercation with the officials during Liverpool's 1-0 victory over Manchester City on Sunday.

Referee Anthony Taylor dismissed the German after he appeared to scream in the face of the assistant referee late in the game.

"I am very aware that I am going to be looked at by millions and millions of people, especially children, and I think you have an expectation to make sure the game is upheld in the right way and with the right spirit," he said.

"I am certainly aware of my demeanour and behaviour on the touchline. That's not say I don't want to win and I don't want to win with every fibre of my being, because I do, but I've always just had that inside me not to lose my discipline.

"Also, my players are looking at me and what are they going to think of me? I'm not going to be able to help them in that moment if I'm not in control of my emotions.

"I've got no issue with me celebrating, it's more going the other way, losing my temper or losing control in a negative and aggressive way, I try not to do that."
