Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp 'lucky' to escape red card, says Alan Shearer

Alan Shearer believes Jurgen Klopp was fortunate to escape a red card for shouting in the face of fourth official John Brooks during the dramatic finale to Liverpool's 4-3 win over Tottenham on Sunday.

The Liverpool boss sprinted over to confront Brooks after Jota scored a dramatic 94th-minute winner before limping back to his technical area having pulled his hamstring.

Referee Paul Tierney then only booked the Liverpool boss, who'd been incensed by the decision to award Tottenham a free-kick in the lead-up to Richarlison's goal to make it 3-3 just a few minutes earlier.
