Klopp handed touchline ban for Man City outburst

Klopp, who later apologised for his outburst, had initially been fined £30 000 after accepting an improper conduct charge but the FA appealed against the punishment handed out by an independent regulatory commission.

“As a result, the Liverpool FC manager has been suspended from the touchline for one match with immediate effect… and warned as to his future conduct,” the FA said in a statement.

Liverpool are eighth in the standings with 19 points from as many games while Southampton are 18th with 12 points, having played a game more.
