Klopp Bemused by Mignolet decision


Liverpool Manager Jurgen Klopp was bewildered by referee Alon Yefet's choice to honor Bordeaux an indirect kick that brought about the opening goal in their Europa League match at Anfield on Thursday.
The Belgian goalkeeper surrendered the set-piece inside the box in the wake of clutching the ball for more than 20 seconds, more than the regulation six.
Henri Saivet twisted the resultant free-kick into the top corner and Klopp scrutinized the choice, insisting his boys - who booked a spot in the last 32 by in the long run winning 2-1 were not time squandering.
Notwithstanding, Klopp yielded it is one of the dangers when requesting that the goalie begin attacks.
"I didn't comprehend it in light of the fact that we were the dynamic team in this match," he told BT Sport.
"Twenty seconds with the ball? Alright. We need to choose whether to play develop or long ball and now and then you need to choose late.
"Generally the free-kick won't be given. They made an objective, we got a punishment so it was an open game once more.
"The simple matches anybody can win, however this was a  difficult match so we're truly fortunate at this point."
Goals from James Milner and Christian Benteke conveyed Liverpool from behind to take the three points required to qualify.
Mignolet was satisfied with how his buddies responded to his mistake.
"Right now you consider what would you be able to do, however I held up too long and that can happen," he said.
"The primary concern is we reacted after that, we didn't give it a chance to influence our game and we returned before half-time.
"We won 2-1, we qualified too, and ideally can win the final group game in Switzerland [against Sion]."
