Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he "went over the top" so fully deserved his red card towards the end of his side's 1-nil victory over Premier League champions Manchester City.

He was furious a foul on goal-scorer Mohamed Salah had not been given and was sent from the touchline after aiming his anger at the assistant referee.

Klopp says it's hard to understand the officials' decision:

After 69 games, Virgil van Dijk is STILL unbeaten for Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League.
