He says of losing his temper: “I probably have to expect a punishment. Refs think I questioned their integrity which if I am sitting here now calm, I don’t do.
“I shouldn’t have said what I said… It’s not in my hands what goes on now.
“Whole situation shouldn’t have happened, a lot of emotion, anger in that moment, that’s why I celebrated why I did. That was the situation.”
Klopp urged his span to channel his frustrations from last-gasp win over Spurs, with lifted them into fifth in the league, into another victory at Anfield on Wednesday night.

He adds: “The way we played was exceptional at the beginning [on Sunday]... We have to do that again.
“We won a game 4-3 in a spectacular manner and only headlines I created [were negative]. “We expect a reaction because everyone tells us [punishment] will come.”
