"I don't understand the rationale when you see the pictures and hear the conversation between them (referee and TMO). Читать дальше...

Klopp's side had been knocked out of pole position by Manchester City's 2-0 victory against Everton earlier in the afternoon.

However, Alexander-Arnold was forced off at half-time with a knee injury after setting a new... Читать дальше...
