Klopp charged for celebration
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was charged by the Football Association yesterday after he raced onto the pitch to celebrate his side's late winner against Everton in the Merseyside derby.
The German was overjoyed by Divock Origi's 96th-minute goal courtesy of a horrendous misjudgement from Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and raced over to Reds goalkeeper Alisson Becker.
He apologised for his actions after the 1-0 win at Anfield but the FA announced he had been charged with misconduct. Klopp has until 1800 GMT on Thursday to respond to the charge.
"Immediately after the game I apologised to (Everton manager) Marco Silva when we spoke to each other," Klopp said following the match. "I told him how much I respect his work.
Silva said he did not hear an apology from the Liverpool boss, and added: "To be honest, I didn't see so I don't know what he did and how he did it."
