'I had no idea why Mourinho spoke about me' - Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp responds to Man United manager's 'preferential treatment' barb

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admits he may have been lucky to avoid punishment for his outburst at a fourth official, but does not agree with Jose Mourinho that the Manchester United boss is treated differently.

Klopp apologised following Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea for his heated touchline exchange with Neil Swarbrick, where he raged at the ref after Diego Costa was awarded a late penalty.

Simon Mignolet saved the subsequent spot-kick and Klopp shouted "no-one can beat us" at the official, who then responded, according to the German, by saying "no problem I like your passion".
