Jurgen Klopp took issue with Vincent Kompany's last-ditch challenge on Mo Salah in the first half of Liverpool's 2-1 defeat to Manchester City, saying that it could have ended the forward's season.

"I really like Vincent Kompany but how on Earth is that not a red card? He is last man and he goes in. If he hits Mo more he is out for the season. It is not easy for the ref and he may not see it how I see it."

The tackle in question came after Salah almost got on the end of a wayward pass behind City's defensive line. 

“I like him, he’s a fantastic and outstanding player. I loved Kompany at Hamburg – what a career, but situations like this happen. A player makes a decision and makes a sliding tackle. He took the risk, Mo is on his feet and, if he is not in the moment where he jumps over him, then we all talk differently. Still a nice guy but a really bad decision [from the referee, Anthony Taylor]," added Klopp.
