Premier League: Jurgen Klopp found guilty but escapes with a fine | Football
Jurgen Klopp has avoided a touchline ban for his red card in the 1-0 win over Manchester City.
The Liverpool boss was sent off after berating the assistant referee when referee Anthony Taylor had failed to give a foul for a challenge on Mohamed Salah by Bernardo Silva. Klopp later admitted he ‘lost it’.
Klopp has been found guilty of improper conduct and handed a £30,000 fine.
An FA statement read: ‘The manager accepted his behaviour during the 86th minute was improper, and an independent regulatory commission imposed his sanction during a hearing.
‘This sanction is subject to appeal by either Jurgen Klopp or the FA following receipt of the independent regulatory commission’s written reasons.’
In February last year Klopp was fined £45,000 for questioning the integrity of referee Kevin Friend ‘and/or implying bias’ after a 1-1 draw with West Ham.
