Liverpool defeated Everton 2-0 in the Merseyside derby but the victory was a rather controversial one.
Ibou Konate escaped a second yellow card when the score was 0-0 for a foul on Beto. After the game, Jurgen Klopp admitted that the Frenchman was lucky to avoid a sending off.
The Liverpool boss was asked this question again at the press conference and this is what he said: "To be 100 per cent honest, I didn’t see it back yet. I was not sure I saw it 100 per cent, I think I was somewhere else in that moment.
"But then when he is going down, Ibou I knew had a yellow card so I knew that could be now tricky. Then he didn’t get the second yellow and then I thought, OK, we don’t give it a chance and take him off.
"I understand, how you can imagine, the frustration of Everton and Sean [Dyche] in this moment, absolutely. Was it 0-0 still or was it 1-0? 0-0. 10 v 10.
"I thought we were the better side. Would we have won? I don’t know, we will never find out. But it’s not that I would have thought, OK, now we have no chance to win the game anymore. 100 per cent not. It would have been interesting.
"Would Everton have changed anything or not? We don’t know. Would they have been a bit more offensive or not? That’s all hypothetical obviously. 2-0 and we deserved the three points, I think there’s no doubt."
