Liverpool faced Arsenal in an away game in the Premier League on Sunday, February 4 and suffered a defeat.
The Reds suffered a 3-1 loss as Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard scored for Mikel Arteta’s side, while Gabriel Magalhaes scored an own goal.
Ibrahima Konate was sent off in the 88th minute after receiving two yellow cards, both for fouls on Kai Havertz.
Following the game, Klopp spoke to Sky Sports and said: “A lot of things were against of us today. This referee [Anthony Taylor] gave me a red card against Man City for wrestling situation between Bernardo Silva and Mo Salah.
“Today same situation with [Diogo] Jota but didn’t get a red card. It is unbelievable.
“Then the holding of Havertz on Konate for the first yellow card. Then Havertz goes down and the referee gives Konate a yellow card.
“Gabriel [Magahaels] does the same to [Darwin] Nunez and no yellow card!
“We should have played better, but everything went against us! We lost the game, fact. The way, strange.”
