The result saw the Hammers overtake Klopp's side in the Premier League, but the German insisted his allegations were difficult to complete during the game.
For West Ham United's first goal, he felt Alisson was held back, causing him to grope for the ball into the net from Pablo Vernals' corner kick. "Obviously, the moment is critical. I think the goal is clear. In some cases, they have to go the other way," he told Sky Sports after the game.
"I think the first goal was a foul on the goalkeeper. I don't know exactly what a player has to do to foul a goalkeeper. He leaned against Ali's arm, so how could he catch the ball? Someone pulled his arm away. To me, it doesn't make sense. ”
