I loved Klopp’s repeat of the Pleat glory dash

-

WHAT is the problem with Jurgen Klopp dashing 40 yards to celebrate a 96th-minute winner in the Merseyside derby with his goalkeeper?

I absolutely loved it.

Klopp letting it all hang out reminded me of David Pleat charging on to the Maine Road pitch in his beige suit (below) after Luton’s dramatic winner saved their skins and sent Manchester City down 35 years ago.

Or Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United assistant Brian Kidd celebratin­g Steve Bruce’s injury-time winner against Sheffield Wednesday in

1993, a huge moment in ending the 26-year wait for the title to return to Old Trafford.

There has been a lot of po-faced hogwash about Klopp’s reaction to Divock Origi’s winner against Everton.

Instead of fining him for misconduct, we should enjoy Klopp’s fire and passion.

Football is an emotional game. Let’s not turn on managers who show some emotion.
