Liverpool boss Klopp dismisses Forest anger: But I don't know the rule...

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists Nottingham Forest had nothing to complain about after Saturday's win for the visitors.

Darwin Nunez scored in the 99th minute for Liverpool's 1-0 win - but only after the game had been stopped for a head injury suffered by Ibrahima Konate.

When the game restarted, Liverpool were given the ball, even though Forest had possession when referee Paul Tierney had stopped play.

Klopp later insisted: "It happened exactly the same in the first half, didn't it? It was exactly the same, just the other way around, right? What would you say about that? I expected it exactly to happen like that because it happened in the first half like that.

"If it wouldn't have happened in the first half, I would have asked a question as well. But I would now assume that's the rule. I don't know to be 100 per cent sure because it happened twice and twice it got handled exactly the same. So, I don't really see the reason for the discussions because that's it and I don't know how many passes we had to play to arrive there and score the goal.

"But I understand 100 per cent the excitement and the anger and stuff like this of Nottingham, of course. They fight for everything and I understand that, but I think with the particular situation where it was twice the same then I would say that's consistent."
