London: A grumpy Jurgen Klopp apologised for his mood after seeing Liverpool twice squander the lead to draw at Sunderland as Jermain Defoe struck twice from the penalty spot. The Reds boss accepted that referee Anthony Taylor had got both spot-kick decisions right, but insisted the free kick, which led to the second six minutes from time should not have been awarded.
Klopp said: "We scored the second goal, felt good, [it] felt deserved, then I would say no foul, but a free kick. I have seen it again and there was no contact. Then handball, 2-2, that's how it is. I must be honest, it doesn't feel good and it's not because of the point, it's because two penalties in a game. Usually what you have to do to get a penalty, to get two, that was harsh, very hard to accept. But obviously I have to accept it, so I will do it."
This defeat ended Liverpool's four-game Premier League winning streak.
