JURGEN KLOPP was told to “hang on” after trying to cut his post-match interview short.
The Kop chief was on cloud nine following Liverpool’s last-gasp victory over Tottenham – who they beat 4-3 at Anfield on Sunday.

But Kop chief Jurgen Klopp was far from happy with with ref Paul Tierney after the match
The German tried to cut his post-match interview early when discussing Tiernery
But his mood switched when the topic changed to referee Paul Tiernery’s decision to award a soft free kick to Spurs before Richarlison’s equaliser and his celebration following Jota’s stoppage-time winner.
He told Sky Sports: “My celebration towards the fourth official, I didn’t say any bad words or nothing.
“But it was unnecessary that I got punished immediately. I pulled my hamstring or abductor, or whatever. So fine, that’s fair.
“But what he said to me when he gave me the yellow card – pfff.”
The interviewer tried to get the German to elaborate by saying: “Go on.”
The former Borussia Dortmund chief replied: “No, that’s not possible. It’s absolutely not possible. But it’s not okay as well.”
Klopp then tried to walk away, prompting the interviewer to say: “Hang on.”
A fired-up Klopp then said: “I said what I wanted to say, so there’s no extra question.”
He added: “I stopped then there so that it’s. Okay, thanks.”
Klopp didn’t hold back with his opinion on Tiernery before trying to prematurely end the interview.
He said: “We have our history with Tierney, I really don’t know what he has against us.
“He has said there [are] no problems but that cannot be true.
“How he looks at me, I don’t understand it.
“In England nobody has to clarify these situations, it’s really tricky and hard to understand.
“What he said to me when he gave me the yellow card is not OK.”
Liverpool will be back in action on Wednesday night, welcoming tenth-placed Fulham to Anfield.
