KLOPP’S STROP WITH PELLEGRINI WAS JUSTIFIED

JURGEN KLopp did not have much of a point about the referee on Monday, but he had every right to be snarky with West Ham manager Manuel pellegrini. With West Ham still to play at the Etihad Stadium on February 27, it was poor form for pellegrini to say he wanted Manchester City to win the league. If Klopp was pondering whether West Ham would be as committed to taking points from pellegrini’s former club, he was within his rights.
