In response to the scenes in Newcastle, Jurgen Klopp reveals why he declined to celebrate Darwin Nunez’s victory for Liverpool.

Manager of Liverpool’s response to the Premier League match against Newcastle

Jurgen Klopp is sure that Virgil van Dijk, the captain of Liverpool, should not have been dismissed against Newcastle United, and he explained why he first refrained from celebrating Darwin Nunez’s incredible injury-time winner.

Sunday afternoon’s Premier League match included plenty of incidents, but the 10-man Reds rallied from behind to win 2-1 thanks to two late goals from Nunez, who came on as a substitute.

After tackling Newcastle attacker Alexander Isak on the edge of the box, Van Dijk was awarded a straight red card on minute 28. The VAR team did not request that referee John Brooks review his judgement.

The Dutchman will now be unable to play for Liverpool against Aston Villa at home on Sunday since it was the team’s second straight game with a red card.

However, Klopp asserted, “I don’t think that is a red card; there is hardly any touch at all. What, then, can I say? I am powerless to alter the choice because it has been made. I do not desire it.
Would I whistle it throughout a workout? Definitely not, but there are reasons both why they and I are referees.

When the Liverpool right-back collided with former Everton winger Anthony Gordon shortly after receiving a yellow card for kicking the ball away in the first few minutes of the match, Newcastle felt Trent Alexander-Arnold ought to have been sent off.

The two benches engaged in a candid discussion as Newcastle assistant manager Jason Tindall motioned for Klopp to keep quiet.

Our performance following the red card gave us hope that, if we don’t give up (a second goal), we can still make a difference. We have a chance to win this argument if you can passionately defend it and play with an idea. Additionally, we have a point and a victory.
