'We have all got great respect for referees... for 90 minutes we might lose our heads a little bit': Moyes backs Klopp over his red card in Liverpool's win against Man City - as West Ham boss insists he was 'correct' to be angry in build-up to dismissal

David Moyes has defended Jurgen Klopp's touchline outburst which saw the Liverpool manager sent off in Sunday's Premier League win over Manchester City.

Klopp was shown a red card after fuming at assistant referee Gary Beswick for not flagging for a foul during the 1-0 victory at Anfield.

It is so far unclear whether or not the German will be in the dugout for Wednesday's visit of Moyes' West Ham following his dismissal.

Klopp was seething after Beswick did not flag for a foul in favour of the hosts on Sunday

Speaking after the game Klopp said it was 'about emotion' and took blame for the sending off, saying he 'went over the top' but that he felt he had not disrespected the official.
