JURGEN KLOPP aimed a dig at Mike Dean following Liverpool’s controversial penalty incident against Manchester City.
The game was level at 1-1 and in the eighth minute of extra time when Jeremy Doku collided with Alexis Mac Allister.
Replays revealed the City forward kicking Mac Allister in the chest as they both went for the ball in the box.
But referee Michael Oliver waved play on and the VAR team refused to intervene as the game ended all square.
Klopp was left raging after the final whistle and confronted Oliver to question him on the controversial call.
The Liverpool boss was later probed on the decision and his confrontation with Oliver after the match.

“He will find something and all the others as well. This is a penalty for all football people on the planet, it’s a penalty.
