Vincent Kompany feels that he was also given a yellow card as a result of Jurgen Klopp’s booking during Liverpool’s 3-1 victory against Burnley.
Tim Robinson, the referee at Anfield, gave Klopp a warning for his outbursts after the Reds were not given a penalty for a foul on Diogo Jota. The referee also gave Kompany a warning, which is his third yellow card of the year. As a result, he will miss Burnley’s game against Arsenal the following weekend.
He made hints that Robinson’s caution was prompted by Klopp’s booking after his team’s 17th Premier League loss of the year, presumably to “balance it out.”
In his exasperated post-match statement, Kompany stated: “I believe I was booked.”
because, in my opinion, the referee did nothing more than go look for me after Jurgen Klopp was booked. I should have paid attention to it.
He said, “I am now banned for the upcoming game [against Arsenal].
Even Klopp questioned the logic behind his counterpart’s yellow card and made a lighthearted allusion to previous rumors that suggested the introduction of a blue card, which may result in a sin-bin.
“What if the referee in this game had a blue card available?” he said.
“I didn’t know why Vincent Kompany received it. I completely lost it in the circumstance; please give me a yellow card.
Burnley’s frustration will only grow as they now have the same number of points as Sheffield United, who are now at the bottom of the league, following their convincing 3-1 victory against Luton Town on Saturday afternoon.
