'Klopp's pitch invasion was great to see' - Riise defends Liverpool boss

The manager accepted a misconduct charge for his celebration of Divock Origi's late winner, but the former defender enjoyed his display of passion

Jurgen Klopp's on-pitch celebrations during the Merseyside derby have been defended by former Liverpool defender John Arne Riise.

Klopp ran onto the field at Anfield after Divock Origi's dramatic late winner against Everton in Sunday's Premier League showdown, embracing goalkeeper Alisson.

He accepted a misconduct charge and was hit with an £8,000 fine by the Football Association, but Riise does not feel the German manager showed any disrespect to his opponents.
