Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp spoke to Adam Lallana after U23 red card for violent conduct: 'He wasn't happy... and I wasn't either'

Jurgen Klopp has spoken to Adam Lallana after the Liverpool midfielder was sent off for violent contact for the Under 23s in midweek.

The England international was shown a straight red after grabbing Tottenham youngster George Marsh by the neck in a furious reaction to a challenge.

He started the game in Stevenage in a bid to build up match fitness but his evening was cut short in the second-half of the 1-0 Premier League 2 defeat.
