Speaking after the game, the German rubbished claims that Mane goes down too easily and indicated that Liverpool have been on the receiving end of bad refereeing decisions in the past.

Klopp compares Liverpool and Manchester United’s penalty tally

The Liverpool manager also mentioned Manchester United’s penalty record in what was a sly jibe at Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.

Manchester United could move three points clear of Liverpool at the top of the table with a victory against Burnley, with the Red Devils in a rich vein of form in recent weeks. Liverpool, on the other hand, are winless in their last three Premier League games and are set to welcome Manchester United to Anfield in their next league encounter.

Solskjaer’s side have recovered well from their slow start to the season and seem to be hitting form at the right time. Manchester United, however, will have to make their game in hand against Burnley count if they are to come to Anfield as the league leaders.
