'It's a man's sport' - Koeman slams Klopp for derby protests

The Reds ran out 3-1 winners at Anfield, but Klopp's antics on the sidelines did not impress his opposite number

Ronald Koeman slammed Jurgen Klopp for over-protesting to the match officials following Ross Barkley's challenge on Dejan Lovren in Liverpool's Merseyside derby victory over Everton on Saturday.

Despite Liverpool protests, Barkley escaped with a booking for a heavy challenge on the home defender's ankle five minutes before half-time in his side's 3-1 loss at Anfield.

Koeman and Klopp disagreed on the touchline during the match and the Everton boss felt Klopp and Liverpool's bench were too vocal when arguing decisions.
