Schwarzer accuses Liverpool boss Klopp of hypocrisy

Former Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer has accused Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp of hypocrisy over complaints about Burnley's tackling this week.

The Liverpool boss was frustrated with some of the physical challenges the Clarets made throughout the Reds' 3-1 win at Turf Moor, with one leading to a hairline leg fracture for Joe Gomez.

Schwarzer told Sky Sports: "It's a brilliant tackle from Mee, it's what you want from your centre-half. It's not a Burnley-specific tackle, it's a defender's tackle.

"Sean Dyche is rightly upset and annoyed by the comments. I think that is a tackle you want every centre-half to make.

"I've seen Liverpool play, Virgil Van Dijk and Joe Gomez have made those challenges and it's no different to what they've done."
