Klopp banned from touchline for Villa game over Tierney comments

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been suspended from the touchline for Saturday's match against Aston Villa.

The ban is part of Klopp's punishment for comments he made to the media about official Paul Tierney following Liverpool's dramatic 4-3 win over Tottenham at Anfield on April 30.

He will also be fined £75,000, with a further one-game touchline ban suspended until the end of next season on the condition that he does not reoffend.

Klopp was responding to questions about the yellow card he received from Tierney after running to celebrate in the face of fourth official John Brooks following Diogo Jota's stoppage-time winner.

"We have our history with (Paul) Tierney, I really don't know what this man has against us, he has said there is no problems but that cannot be true," Klopp told Sky Sports.
