Liverpool boss Klopp rejects Arsenal hypocrisy claims: I don't give a s***

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has rejected claims of hypocrisy after his celebrations following victory against Luton.

Klopp's fist-pumping came just a week after Liverpool complaints of Arsenal's celebrations after their win against the Reds.

Klopp said: "Sometimes things happen to me, it's not that I plan it or whatever. It was a really special game. The situation we had it was clear who could play, then how the first half went and then the direction the second half went, it just did that to me pretty much.

"I enjoyed that game so much. It was such a wonderful performance, in a great atmosphere, and that's why it happened. You can make of my celebrations what you want. I heard the discussions – that Mikel over-celebrated the win against us. That definitely did not come from me. Everybody can do whatever.

"I didn't invent fist-pumps and I don't have the copyright on it and I don't want it. You do what you do for yourself and your people and what the outside world thinks about it. I couldn't give a s*** to be honest! And you can write that exactly like that.

"This is for us and nobody else. Who likes it, likes it, and who doesn't like it, doesn't like it."
