Jurgen Klopp's Christian Benteke Blast Criticised by Alan Shearer, Danny Murphy

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has come under criticism from former Premier League faces Alan Shearer and Danny Murphy after he was seen "telling off" striker Christian Benteke during Sunday's 3-2 defeat at Southampton.

The Belgian forward came on as a 70th-minute substitute with the Reds leading 2-1 and fluffed his lines with an attempt on goal before the Saints completed their comeback.

Pundits Shearer and Murphy told Match of the Day 2 it was wrong of Klopp to lay into his player once Liverpool's defeat was sealed (h/t Daily Mail's Alex Sharp).
