Klopp on Sunday after Liverpool’s 1-0 win at Anfield: “Immediately after the game I apologised to Marco Silva when we spoke to each other,” he said.
“I told him how much I respect his work, because it’s incredible what he has done with that team. They are just a really outstanding side.
“What can I say about it? I didn’t want to run, it was not in my plan. I didn’t want to run to Ali (Alisson), I couldn’t stop obviously. Not cool, but it happened.”
