Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp tried to play down running onto the pitch to celebrate a last-minute Merseyside derby winner – but that may not be enough for him to escape a Football Association charge.

A blunder by Toffees goalkeeper Jordan Pickford saw substitute Divock Origi clinch a 1-0 win deep into stoppage time, prompting wild scenes at Anfield which saw Klopp charge into the centre circle to celebrate with keeper Alisson Becker, the closest player to him.

Klopp said he apologised immediately to counterpart Marco Silva – although that appears to have been missed by the Toffees boss who said no such conciliatory action was forthcoming – but it is still unlikely to play well with disciplinary chiefs.

Silva said he was proud of his players and refused to apportion any blame to Pickford.

“What I told him will stay between us but what I can tell you is we started the match altogether, we have been working since the first day altogether and we will analyse the match altogether,” he said.

“He did really well up to that moment and it is something no one expected.

“It is easy to understand how the stadium celebrated the goal in the last minute.”
