'He didn't reference Sturridge's cheating' - Dyche hits back at Klopp after tackling criticism

Sean Dyche has hit back at Jurgen Klopp following his comments after the Reds' victory at Turf Moor on Wednesday and questioned why he did not talk about a supposed dive from Daniel Sturridge in the first half.

The Reds overturned a second-half deficit to triumph 3-1 on the road, though victory came at a cost as defender Joe Gomez suffered a fractured left leg during the first half.

The England international was injured following a challenge from Ben Mee, with Klopp claiming after the game he had spoken to referee Stuart Attwell about the danger of injuries in the face of the home side's physical approach to proceedings.
