Liverpool Drop Crucial Points

Jurgen Klopp insisted that refereeing errors cost his side dearly as Sunderland twice came from behind to secure a point.

Klopp's Liverpool were 2-1 up approaching the final five minutes when Anthony Taylor awarded the hosts a free-kick after Jermain Defoe fell under the challenge of Lucas Leiva.

Liverpool striker Sadio Mane — scorer of his side's second goal — handled from Seb Larsson's subsequent deadball effort and Defoe netted his second of the afternoon from the spot.

An irate Klopp said: 'It is tough for me to accept. If there is no free-kick, there is no handball. And there was no foul for the free-kick. I saw it again and there was no contact.
'It was also 100 per cent a foul on Daniel Sturridge (at the other end). It was a similar situation and we would have had a chance to shoot at somebody's arm. Obviously we didn't get that chance.'
