Vincent Kompany, the Burnley manager, will not be able to lead his team from the touchline during their match against Arsenal next week. He believes that Liverpool's manager, Jurgen Klopp, played a part in him receiving a yellow card during their game on Saturday. Despite the 3-1 loss to Liverpool, Kompany felt his team put up a good fight and caused the Merseysiders plenty of problems.
The match between Burnley and Liverpool was intense, with both managers receiving yellow cards from the referee, Tim Robinson. Klopp was booked for his protests after his team was denied a penalty, while Kompany was unhappy with Liverpool's second goal and was shown his third yellow card of the season. This means he will have to serve a touchline ban during their next game.
Kompany felt that his booking was harsh and suggested that the referee was trying to even things out after showing Klopp a yellow card in the first half. He explained that he had simply opened his arms in a gesture he has done in many games, but the card was shown "out of nothing." Despite his frustration, he did not want to dwell on it and expressed the need to move on and keep going without sulking.
Klopp also had sympathy for Kompany and agreed that the yellow card he received was justified. However, he was unsure why his counterpart was booked and even joked about how chaotic the game would have been if a blue card (equivalent to a red card) was available for the referee to use. He also admitted that he lost his composure in the situation and was willing to accept the yellow card.
