A furious Jurgen Klopp has insisted that Harry Kane should have been sent off for his crunching challenge on Andy Robertson in Liverpool's draw with Tottenham - and also believes Diogo Jota should have won a penalty.
Both sides played out a much-needed four-goal thriller on Sunday evening, but tempers flared with a string of decisions - including the lack of punishment over Kane's tackle - visibly angering Reds boss Klopp on the touchline.
To make matters worse for the visitors, left back Robertson was given a red card himself after kicking out at Emerson Royal, with referee Paul Tierney told to check his VAR monitor after initially giving a yellow.
And, speaking post-match, Klopp voiced his opinion that Tottenham striker Kane should have been handed his marching orders.
Asked on whether the red card should have been pulled out, he said: 'Yes, definitely. We can say we can give Robbo [Andrew Robertson] a red card – that's not the smartest challenge, that's how it is.
'But that's [Kane challenge] definitely a red card. People will say his [Robertson's] leg is in the air but that's just pure coincidence. We cannot judge it on whether Robbo's leg is on the ground – then it's a broken leg, no doubt about that.
'So we are sitting there, and he [Tierney] thinks "have a look again at the Robertson situation." Fine, that's what he's [VAR] there for. What did he do in that situation?'
Jota was on target in the enthralling clash in north London, but may have picked up another goal contribution after being bundled over inside the box in the first half.
However, both Tierney and the VAR deemed the tackle as not being worthy of a penalty, another controversial call which riled up Klopp after the final whistle.
On the incident, Klopp added: 'Mr Tierney told me he thinks Diogo stops on purpose because he wants the foul. He has to stop to shoot because he cannot run and shoot in the same moment.
'When you see the situation back and the VAR is there, where is he stopping?
'Two players clean [him out in] the six-yard area with two challenges against one player, and the player is down. I don't understand that.
'But in the end, the draw is okay. We are not that crazy that we think we cannot draw at Tottenham but these situations are crucial, they are decisive situations.
'Somebody finished the situation off in a not-really-football-legal way and the ref and the VAR doesn't say a word. I really have no idea what his problem is with me. Honestly, I have no idea. I have no problem.
'In the beginning, I was a bit more emotional in games, but it's not allowed, in a situation like this, to be a bit more.
'I had nothing with Mr [Andre] Marriner, it was all fine, but he obviously felt – I don't know what he felt in that moment, but he issued a yellow card, which is fine.
'But I would have preferred the right decision on the pitch.'
And in a sensational twist, Klopp also alluded to a problem between himself and Tierney, who he confronted on the pitch at full-time.
'You just need an objective ref who sees the situations and judges them and not opinions,' he said. 'He told me that he [Jota] stops on purpose. That's incredible: he had the best spot on the pitch.
'He was eight yards away [from goal] and he doesn't finish it. You have to ask him [Tierney] what's his problem with me.'
