'Tell them you cannot do that' - Klopp frustrated by physical Burnley as Gomez suffers injury

The defender had to leave the Turf Moor pitch on a stretcher, leaving his manager frustrated by the physical approach taken by their opponents

Jurgen Klopp felt referee Stuart Attwell failing to control Burnley's physical approach contributed to an injury for Liverpool defender Joe Gomez.

The England international was taken off on a stretcher in the 23rd minute at Turf Moor after a heavy challenge from Burnley captain Ben Mee sent Gomez sliding into an advertising board.

Liverpool came from behind to win 3-1, setting a club record for most points 15 games into a league season, thanks to goals from James Milner, Roberto Firmino and Xherdan Shaqiri.
