Burnley boss Kompany: Ref was looking to book me

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany was unimpressed by his booking during defeat at Liverpool.

Both Kompany and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp were shown yellow cards.

The Clarets manager said: "I'd say it's a little bit to do with the game.

"I think I got booked because I should have paid attention to the fact that Jurgen Klopp got booked because then all I think the referee did was just went looking for me. I opened my arms out which I have done exactly that in many games. Then all of a sudden the card comes out. Out of nothing. Now I am suspended for the next game.

"I should have known it was just a way to balance it out and it doesn't make sense, but hey, we have to keep going. No sulking."
