Jurgen Klopp watched Mohamed Salah strike twice to earn leaders Liverpool a hard-fought 2-0 win over Watford – but claims VAR has changed his touchline behaviour.

In the second half, with the score at 1-0, Sadio Mane’s header from a Xherdan Shaqiri cross was ruled out for a marginal, but correct, offside decision.

Although he did not contest the call, Klopp claimed he does not celebrate goals anymore, in case they are ruled out.

“I had no clue where it was offside, to be honest,” he said. “I don’t celebrate goals anymore because you have to wait until somebody says it is a goal.

“I thought there was one pass before where maybe it was offside, but that Sadio was offside, I couldn’t see.”
