Post-game, Klopp - who conducted his presser in a tent - blasted: "Who had the idea to do the press conference here?

He added on the disallowed goal: "I only saw the video back now and for me it's not a handball, but how can I decide that.

"It was pretty long ago before we scored the goal and I thought, 'Where is the free-kick?'

"I didn't see it properly but I heard there could have been a penalty for us in another situation, I don't know.

"Actually, I am a bit more concerned about [the fact that] I would have loved us to have played better, to be honest.

"That's my main issue tonight. In a football way more aggressive
