‘Ask the ref!' - Klopp bemused by controversial offside call in Liverpool-Arsenal draw

The Liverpool boss did not understand why Sadio Mane’s first half goal was ruled out but did want to blame that for his side’s draw

Jurgen Klopp did not understand why Sadio Mane’s first-half goal was ruled out for offside, but admitted he did not think that could be blamed for his side’s 1-1 draw against Arsenal.

Mane appeared to put the Reds ahead in the opening 45, tapping home a Roberto Firmino shot that had hit off the crossbar.

The linesman ruled Mane offside, but replays showed Firmino onside when he was played in and Mane behind his Brazilian team-mate when the shot was taken.
