Klopp admitted to the charges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Klopp spoke to journalists after the match and expressed his frustration with Tierney\u2019s decision to award a foul against Mohamed Salah just before Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s third goal. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Klopp also mentioned that Liverpool had a history with Tierney and that he didn\u2019t understand why the official had a problem with Liverpool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Klopp admitted that his celebration was unnecessary but felt that Tierney\u2019s comments to him when he was given a yellow card were inappropriate.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has received a two-match touchline ban for questioning the decisions of referee Paul Tierney after Liverpool\u2019s victory over Tottenham Hotspur in April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13577,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1437,6134,828],"class_list":["post-13576","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-ban","tag-jurgen-klopp","tag-liverpool"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13576"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13576"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13576\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13578,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13576\/revisions\/13578"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/13577"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
