James Milner’s 95th-minute penalty maintained Liverpool’s perfect start to the Premier League season as a dramatic 2-1 win over Leicester stretched their lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points.
However, victory came at a cost with Mohamed Salah limping off injured late on with an injury caused by Hamza Choudhury’s lunge.
“It’s a challenge which I really don’t understand,” said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who believes Choudhury should have been sent off rather than just shown a yellow card.
“He is a player who is at full sprint, to bring him down without the ball around, for me it is only one colour (card).
“I don’t want to cause the boy any problems but he has to calm down in situations like that. It’s not the first time. He has to calm down.
“He’s a super player, super development in the last one or two years at Leicester, but these kind of challenges, no. I don’t know how that can not be red.”
Salah later limped out of the stadium with what appeared to be an ankle injury, although Klopp did not immediately know the extent of his problem.
