FA Urged to Impose Points Deduction on Liverpool Following Jurgen Klopp's Antics during Spurs Match

The FA have been told to come down hard on Liverpool and manager Jurgen Klopp after their 4-3 win against Tottenham, Express report.

Following his team's 4-3 win over Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool's manager Jurgen Klopp was seen celebrating Diogo Jota's injury-time winner in the presence of fourth official John Brooks. 

As a result, the Football Association has been advised to impose a points deduction on Liverpool due to Klopp's behavior. 

Klopp also made critical remarks after the match, in which he accused referee Paul Tierney of dishonesty and having a bias against Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp is now facing a dual penalty from the FA following his actions during the Tottenham Hotspur versus Liverpool match. The incident began with a 93rd-minute free-kick awarded to Spurs, which led to Richarlison's equalizer.

 Liverpool's Diogo Jota then took advantage of a defensive mistake and scored a goal, prompting exuberant celebrations from Klopp that led to him receiving a booking.

"Unless the FA start addressing this behaviour with a points deduction it will never change," Ref Support UK CEO Martin Cassidy told Express Sport. "Giving Liverpool a £30,000 fine is nothing. Start giving them points deductions and watch them shut up and behave.

"We believe that will be one of the silver bullets right across football to address right up from grassroots to the Premier League. There have been touchline bans for decades, but it's not getting better, it's getting worse." Talking to Sky Sports after the match about referee Tierney, Klopp said: "I really don’t know what he has against us, he has said there is no problems but that cannot be true.

Refereeing body the PGMOL issued a statement after the game to "strongly refute" the claims about Tierney. They were supported by Cassidy who said that Tottenham interim boss Ryan Mason felt aggrieved after Tierney failed to send Jota off for a high boot on Oliver Skipp.

"So these two people are having completely paradoxical arguments about it," added Cassidy. "So both managers are eluding that the referee is either biased or incompetent and it's just what happens in a game now. It's an inward look from managers and people need to realise the hypocrisy of football.

"They always say referees aren't accountable, but if Mo Salah misses a penalty the following week he plays. If a referee doesn't give a penalty which is perceived as an error they want him dropped down to the lower levels. There is an imbalance of accountability there."

Cassidy added that if Tierney did have an agenda against Klopp he would have sent the Liverpool boss off for his touchline antics. Cassidy who is a born and bred Liverpool fan feels their current boss is 'becoming a bit of an embarrassment' to the club.

He added: "I don't know how he can justify the actions which he's been doing since his days at Dortmund. I don't accept his argument of passion. As a Liverpool fan was Bob Paisley, Kenny Dalglish or Bill Shankly not as passionate as Jurgen Klopp? Of course they were but they didn't display the same behaviour as him."
