Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he has no problem with West Brom or their manager Tony Pulis despite a fractious 2-2 draw at Anfield.
Klopp did not shake hands with the Baggies boss at the final whistle and was involved in a confrontation with a member of the visiting team’s backroom staff as he went onto the pitch to celebrate with his players.
Craig Gardner’s reckless knee-high challenge on Dejan Lovren, which went unpunished even though the defender departed on a stretcher and left the ground on crutches, was the worst of the afternoon’s tackles but Klopp said he did not have a personal issue with Pulis.
“I didn’t see him after the game. I can say nothing,” he said. “We had some words in the game; sometimes it takes more than a few seconds to cool down.
“If you want to make a big story, then please. Sometimes it is like this. Usually I shake hands; I did not today because it was not a friendly game.”
Can Liverpool finish in the top four?
