Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says pressure of being top Premier League boss makes it hard to control emotions

Jurgen Klopp has admitted top managers will always be prone to touchline outbursts due to the intense pressure they are under.

Klopp was seen screeching in the face of fourth official Neil Swarbrick during Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Tuesday but escaped without censure. Swarbrick brushed off the incident and, according to Klopp, said: 'I like your passion.'

It prompted Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho to claim Klopp and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger received special treatment from officials.

Klopp rejected that suggestion but, after watching the images, accepted he was lucky to avoid punishment.
