Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp slams decision not to send off Manchester City’s Vincent Kompany in side’s defeat
Jurgen Klopp insisted Vincent Kompany should have been sent off during Manchester Citys 2-1 win over Liverpool.The Citizens reduced the gapto Klopp’s Premier League leaders to four points and reignited the title race with the victory.2

The centre-back was booked for the first-half tackle

However, there was some controversy resulting from a first-half incident as Kompany was booked for a reckless challenge on Mohammed Salah, which some felt should have seen him dismissed completely.One notable person who held this view was Liverpool boss Klopp, who expressed his opinion after the game.I really like Vincent Kompany, the German began in his Sky post-match interview, Buthow on Earth is that not a red card?He is last man and he goes in. If he hits Mo [Salah] more he is out for the season.It is not easy for the ref and he may not see it how I see it.But its all okay, we lost the game because they scored two and we scored one.2

Jurgen Klopp was stunned by the decision

When quizzed about the tackle himself, Kompany gave a different perspective.“I thought it was a great challenge, was it not?” the Belgian asked while grinning.“I got the ball, a little bit of the man but it wasn’t naughty.I didn’t try to injure him. It was that or let him go through on goal and the decision was made very quickly in my head.” Victory for the champions put them well and truly back in the title picture, while simultaneously ending their main rivals unbeaten start to the campaign.Guardiola refused to be drawn into the row.“The decision of the referee, you have to ask to the referee. One day in my life I speak quite well about the referee and I understand you can be banned,” he said.
