Jurgen Klopp has claimed he did not see the incident which could have led to James Milner being sent off against Manchester City.
Milner, who was deputising at right back for the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold, was already on a yellow card when the Liverpool defender made a clumsy challenge on Bernardo Silva in the second half.
Referee Paul Tierney opted not to brandish a second yellow, much to the disgust of City boss Pep Guardiola - who raged at fourth official Mike Dean on the touchline.
Shortly after Milner escaped further punishment, Liverpool went 2-1 ahead when Mohamed Salah finished off a superb solo run - but City came back to earn a point.
