"So it's like that then, is it Jurgen Klopp? I wondered what the touchline row was about with Mikel Arteta," former Tottenham striker and BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks wrote in his Team of the Week column .
"It was clear from Klopp's post-match interview that he thought that Sadio Mane's challenge on Takehiro Tomiyasu was fair, but boy did he use the ensuing confrontation with Arteta to fuel the Anfield crowd.
"Liverpool were struggling until that moment and the only mistake Arteta made was getting involved with Klopp in the first place. The row ignited the crowd and Klopp knew it would.
"Mane, the architect of the incident with Tomiyasu, also took advantage of Anfield's rise in temperature with a well-taken goal and a glorious assist.
"But it was Klopp who was the villain here, not Arteta."
Klopp was the first one to admit he deserved a yellow card for the fracas, but calling him 'the villain' might be too much.
