Ross Barkley's aggression, in particular, received some vociferous reactions from Klopp and his staff which is something that Koeman condemned after the game.
"It's part of football. I also saw some tackles from Lucas and that's all about football," Koeman said. "We don't make a show like the bench of Liverpool about faults, what happened on the pitch.
