Jurgen Klopp responds to Erling Haaland punishment after Liverpool fine and ban

Klopp says he is unconcerned about the prospect of Erling Haaland receiving retrospective punishment in the same way Virgil van Dijk did

Haaland was angry on Sunday evening as Manchester City were held to a 3-3 draw with Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad

The Norway international incensed that referee Simon Hooper had refused to play an advantage from his pass to Jack Grealish late in the game

The centre-forward later tweeted the acronym 'wtf' in response to a clip of the incident

it's been claimed the City forward could come in for punishment from the Football Association as a result of the outburst.

Van Dijk was fined £100,000 and given an extra game ban for his reaction to being dismissed at Newcastle

Haaland might also see a similar fate for his post-match frustrations.

Klopp, though, is uninterested in seeing the Premier League's 14-goal top scorer banned for City, despite the obvious benefits for Liverpool

Klopp

"I don’t know,"

"In most of the years the thing Virgil said no one would have recognised. [He said] 'F****** joke' wasn’t it? I have no idea exactly what Haaland said, I didn’t follow it.

"It is like it is. To be honest I didn’t think for a second about it, when I heard about it, it wasn’t ‘oh we get it, they don’t.’

"As long as you are not emotionally involved it is much easier to accept it, in the heat of the moment it is more difficult.

"They would have probably thought about it and I have no opinion on the outcome."
