Jurgen Klopp: Liverpool boss fined £30,000 by FA for red card against Manchester City

Klopp said he deserved his red card for the way he confronted the assistant referee

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been fined £30,000 by the Football Association following his sending off during his side's 1-0 win against Manchester City on 16 October.

The German apologised for his reaction in his post-match comments.

"Something snapped in that situation, I'm not proud of that. I deserved a red card," he admitted.

• Klopp not taking Champions League progress for granted

Klopp had been charged with a breach of FA rule E3, which covers "comments which are improper, which bring the game into disrepute, which are threatening, abusive, indecent or insulting".

The FA said he accepted that his behaviour "was improper", and "an independent Regulatory Commission imposed his sanction during a hearing".

Liverpool can appeal against the sanction.
