Klopp dismisses Van Dijk row, but admits Liverpool star did break tactical ‘rule’

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp brushed off his second-half row with Virgil van Dijk during the 2-2 draw with Brighton as “normal”.

The coach barked orders at his centre-back as the Reds came under pressure at Anfield. Despite taking a two-goal lead, Brighton fought back. Indeed, they claimed a point in the second half.

Former Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana proved influential for the Seagulls after the break.

He got the assist for Leandro Trossard’s equaliser and had a shot saved himself, as Liverpool struggled to get to grips with the momentum shifting in the away side’s favour.

Amid his side’s struggles, Klopp shouted orders at Van Dijk. Asked about his conversation, he played the incident down. However, he did admit that the centre-back did make an error.
