Liverpool boss Klopp: VAR has me giving up celebrating goals

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he's given up celebrating goals due to VAR.

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.

"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."
