Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp lost his temper with a BBC reporter after the Reds lost 3-2 to West Ham on Sunday in the Premier League.

Klopp's frustration boiled over in a post-match interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, in which he abruptly replied to reporter Rob Nothman when asked for his opinion on some of the key decisions in the game.

The German said: 'It (Liverpool's unbeaten run coming to an end) is the least of my problems. That always happens. However long a run is, it will come to an end.

'There are a couple of things that happened during the game that are difficult to take. But that's how football is.

'If you don't take your chances you're sometimes leaving things up to referee decisions.'

When asked which decisions he was particularly unhappy with, Klopp added: 'It's really interesting you ask that."

I'm not sure I want to answer the question if you don't know the situation I'm talking about.

'Do you not think that was the case [Alisson was fouled for the first goal]? Is your job not to have an opinion? Okay that's nice.

'I saw it back. Alisson wants to go to the ball and I think Ogbonna hits Alisson's arm which is what deflects the ball into the goal.
