Jurgen Klopp accused Martin Atkinson of repeating a mistake which allowed a Manchester United goal against Liverpool back in 2019, in the Reds' latest victory at Southampton.
The Reds made nine changes but took the Premier League title race to the final day with a hard-fought 2-1 win at St Mary's Stadium on Tuesday night. Nathan Redmond opened the scoring after just 13 minutes, but former Saints loanee Takumi Minamino levelled the contest before a late Joel Matip header kept the pressure on league leaders Manchester City.
Klopp rotated his starting eleven after the FA Cup final went to a penalty shootout just three days' prior, and was full of praise for the performance of his bench players as they kept his title hopes alive. However, the former Borussia Dortmund boss was left frustrated by referee Atkinson's role in the opening goal.
