Lampard slams ‘arrogant’ Liverpool coaches after heated Klopp clash

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard called on Liverpool’s backroom staff not to be “arrogant” in their celebrations after a heated touchline row with Jurgen Klopp. The comments were sparked after an incident midway through Liverpool’s 5-3 win over the Blues. Lampard was angered when referee Andre Marriner gave a free-kick for Mateo Kovacic’s clash with Sadio Mane. In response to Marriner’s decision, Lampard immediately exchanged words with Klopp from his technical area. Speaking after the game Lampard insisted his emotions carried him in an action-packed first half. “For me, it wasn’t a foul from Kovacic, and there were a lot of things that weren’t going our way,” he told Sky Sports. “But I’ve not got a problem with Jurgen Klopp. The way he’s managed this team has been fantastic. Fair play to Liverpool Football Club, they’ve won the league, but also don’t get too arrogant with it. That was my point, but it’s done. In match play, you can get emotional and that was it.” Source: Teamtalk
