SEAN SPEAKS
This is what Sean Dyche has to say on his confrontation with Jurgen Klopp:
“You know we come to these places you know we are actually allowed to fight.
“We are allowed to try and win.
“That’s all it was.
“Just a couple of things that got said absolutely nothing that should be out [of] the normal.
“It’s just two managers fighting for their team wanting to win a game, there’s nothing wring with that.”
JURGEN’S THOUGHTS
This is what Jurgen Klopp had to say at full time on his angry exchange with Sean Dyche at the break:
“If he’s not talking about it [then] I will not talk about it, easy as that.
“I didn’t start it but it’s not nothing.
“All good.”
HUGE WIN
It’s a massive three points for Burnley who now have a seven point cushion over eighteenth placed Fulham.
AS IT STANDS
It’s a damaging win for Liverpool who are now SIX points off leaders Manchester United.
The Reds are also just one point clear of fifth placed Spurs who have a game in hand on Jurgen Klopp’s side.
There is a real danger of the Reds dropping out of the top four entirely.
