After VAR upheld referee Michael Oliver’s decision to not award a penalty, Liverpool settled for a draw. Former official Dean, commentating for Sky Sports, suggested it might have been a penalty, calling Doku “very, very fortunate.” Klopp mockingly acknowledged Dean’s commentary and hinted at withholding a prize. He argued post-game that Doku should have been booked as it was “100% a foul.” Klopp sarcastically mentioned Dean’s employment with Sky, sparking praise from Liverpool fans on social media.
Klopp’s sarcastic remarks were met with approval from Liverpool supporters online. Meanwhile, Daniel Sturridge, a former Liverpool star, made a lighthearted joke before leaving the Sky Sports studio. John Stones gave City the lead, followed by Mac Allister equalizing for Liverpool with a penalty after Ederson fouled Darwin Nunez. Despite late penalty calls, Liverpool couldn’t capitalize, leaving them tied with Arsenal at the top of the standings, albeit with a goal differential advantage, while City trails in third place. Klopp’s entertaining antics continue to captivate fans, adding spice to the football landscape.
