Jürgen Klopp Continues War of Words With Pep Guardiola With 'Tactical Fouls' Dig

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has fired back at Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola as the pair continue their war of words in the buildup to their Premier League meeting on Sunday.

Guardiola recently suggested that Sadio Mané is a diver, causing Klopp to leap to his winger's defence. The German was initially eager to avoid clashing with Guardiola, but has since been unable to hold his tongue.

Speaking ahead of Liverpool's meeting with Genk on Tuesday (via Metro), Klopp continued to defend Mané but could not resist taking a sly dig at City's use of tactical fouls - a tactic which has been criticised.
