Liverpool secured a 2-0 win over rivals Everton at Anfield on Saturday.

Ashley Young was sent off before Mo Salah scored twice to seal victory for the Reds.

But Everton were left incensed when Ibrahima Konate failed to see red for foul when the score was still level at 0-0.

Konate was already on a yellow card when he made a rough attempt to win the ball.

And one cheeky journalist made sure to bring it up at Klopp’s post-match press conference.

The Liverpool boss had previously called for his side’s defeat to Tottenham to be replayed after a VAR cock-up denied Luis Diaz a legitimate goal.

And the reporter was curious to know whether Klopp believes Everton were entitled to a derby replay for also suffering a grievance.

He asked: “Jurgen, Everton feel that Ibrahima Konate should have been sent off today and that it was a terrible decision that he wasn’t.

“Do you think they should be allowed to have a replay too?”

However, the journalist did not get the response he wanted.

Klopp looked visibly stunned as the question was delivered.

And without missing a beat, he answered: “Are you serious with that question?”
