New footage catches Richarlison's reaction to Klopp injuring himself celebrating
New footage has emerged of Richarlison smirking at Jurgen Klopp after the German injured himself celebrating Liverpool's last-minute winner against Tottenham.
Diogo Jota snatched a win for the Reds in a thrilling game at Anfield on Sunday, which had seen the hosts relinquish a three-goal lead. Klopp's side appeared to have the win sealed within 15 minutes, as Curtis Jones, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah all scored.
But Spurs were able to get back into the game thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Heung-min Son. Richarlison then appeared to steal a point for the visitors three minutes into injury time, though there was still time for Jota to snatch the win.
The attacker took advantage of Pedro Porro's error to drive a low finish past Fraser Forster. Klopp had clashed with the match officials frequently during the game and has since been charged by the FA for his comments towards referee Paul Tierney during his post-match media duties.
The German also could not resist hitting back at the officials as he celebrated Jota's goal, sprinting towards fourth official John Brooks, pointing at him and screaming in his face.

Klopp blasted Tierney after the game, with the FA charging him on Tuesday as a result. And ahead of Wednesday's clash with Fulham, the German admitted he made a mistake in celebrating so wildly.
"The whole situation is off, it shouldn't have happened at all, that's how it is. It was out of emotion. It was out of anger in that moment, never a good leader for the things you do," Klopp said.
"That's why I celebrated the way I celebrated, there was a situation with a foul on Mo; no foul, but a foul in my view, and a foul was whistled directly in front of my eyes. I saw it was no foul. But he whistled it anyway, free-kick, another free-kick, then the goal and a minute later we score.
"So, that's usually a moment where you should just be happy that you could score a goal. But, unfortunately, I was still kind of angry, which led to the way I celebrated. I didn't say anything wrong.
"I couldn't get really close to the fourth official... the direction was already not really right and I didn't want to get close at all, because then I felt my muscle, that's it pretty much. I think it's a waste of time, I had to get over so many things in my life and I get over them."
