Jokanovic (above) said: “(Andy) Robertson didn’t squeeze up and my player is onside and scored a goal. In one moment, a crucial moment, we go from a goal up to a goal down.

“In this country you normally can’t show disrespect to referees but it’s a problem when they show disrespect to my team, myself, and our supporters. Many times he made a decision based on what came from the stand.”

Jokanovic did accept his players could have reacted better to Liverpool’s break.

“We didn’t defend the counter-attack well but this counter-attack shouldn’t exist,” added the Fulham boss.

Kop boss Jurgen Klopp hailed the swift break. “Reacting that quickly in that situation was brilliant,” he said.
