Jurgen Klopp confronted referee Michael Oliver after Liverpool were denied a late penalty

Replays revealed the City forward kicking Mac Allister in the chest as they both went for the ball in the box.

But ref Oliver waved play on and the VAR team refused to intervene as the game ended all square.

Klopp was left raging after the final whistle and confronted Oliver to probe him on the controversial call.

Manchester United legend Gary Neville said at the time on commentary: “I think he’s a lucky, lucky boy.”

Neville also added: “Doku is very lucky. I thought he was in trouble.”

The two sides played out a thrilling clash, but neither could find a winner meaning Arsenal now sit top of the table.

City centre-back John Stones opened the scoring in the first half but a Mac Allister penalty levelled the game after the break.

Klopp was still devastated after the final whistle as he said: “It was 100 per cent penalty.

“They will find an explanation. It was 100 per cent foul in all areas of the pitch and probably a yellow card.

“All the people with ipads around me were ‘wow, clear’. Maybe they can hide behind the phrase it is not clear and obvious.

“It is of course a penalty but we didn’t get it and that is fine. The most important thing for me is that we can play football like that.

“I saw so many sensational performances today.”

Jurgen Klopp aimed a dig at Mike Dean following Liverpool’s controversial penalty incident against City

And Klopp managed to aim a shot at retired ref-turned Sky Sports pundit Mike Dean in his response.

He said: “Did you employ Mike Dean, is he working for Sky? Congratulations, that’s a great appointment by the way!

“He will find something and all the others as well. This is a penalty for all football people on the planet, it’s a penalty.

“If you think it’s not one, then maybe you’re not a football person.”

Despite Klopp’s rant, fans were more interested in his quip at Dean as one said: “Jurgen’s just f bodied Mike Dean.”

Another added: “Mike Dean works for Sky? “Good appointment btw.”
Shots fired.”

One joked: “Jurgen Klopp absolutely finished Mike Dean off.”
