'You what? His armpit?' - Klopp not amused with explanation after Firmino goal is disallowed

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp called for clarity on offside decisions and VAR after Roberto Firmino was harshly denied a goal against Aston Villa.

Premier League leaders Liverpool came from behind to win 2-1 at Villa Park on Saturday thanks to last-gasp headers from Andy Robertson and Sadio Mane, cancelling out Trezeguet's first-half opener.
