Jurgen Klopp launched into a furious tirade about Liverpool's fixture schedule after Pascal Gross's controversial late penalty rescued a dramatic 1-1 draw for Brighton at the Amex Stadium on Saturday.
Klopp's side took the lead through Diogo Jota's second half strike after Brighton's Neal Maupay had missed a penalty in the first half. But Liverpool were stunned in stoppage time when Andrew Robertson's challenge on Danny Welbeck was ruled a penalty after Stuart Attwell used VAR to overturn his initial decision.

Gross converted from the spot, leaving Klopp sarcastically applauding the officials at the end of a disappointing week for Liverpool after their shock Champions League defeat at home to Atalanta. Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson claimed Welbeck told him it wasn't a penalty, but Klopp would not take the bait when asked if he disagreed with the decision. "You try to create again, on my cost, a headline, because that's how it is. If I say now it was not... the ref whistled it," Klopp said in a fractious exchange with a BT Sport interviewer. "Don't look like this, you try, always, all the time. Today I say it was a penalty, you are not happy with that answer, so keep your answers to yourself."
