Jurgen Klopp is facing his second touchline ban of the season with referees' chiefs willing to share the audio recording of his conversation with Paul Tierney — the ref he accused of being biased against Liverpool — with the FA.
Reds boss Klopp's behaviour was thrust into the spotlight after he celebrated Liverpool's late winner in Sunday's 4-3 win against Tottenham by charging towards fourth official John Brooks — pulling a hamstring in the process — before claiming that Tierney said something untoward when he was cautioned.
Refereeing body, the PGMOL, whose officials wear microphones, listened back to the audio and disputed Klopp's claims, saying that Tierney 'acted in a professional manner throughout'.
