The Burnley boss stopped in the tunnel to speak to Klopp where the arguing continued for a short while, before Dyche continued on to the away dressing room.

The home side were frustrated in the first-half as they were held to a goalless draw by the Clarets. They went on to suffer a 1-0 defeat to Burnley at Anfield – ending their record of 68 home games without a loss.
Adding to the club’s woes – they’ve now gone four successive games without scoring as they continue to lose ground on rivals Manchester United in the title race.
Klopp’s side did come close to taking the lead when Divock Origi ran clear through on goal late in the half, but smashed the crossbar when it looked easier to score.
Dyche’s Burnley have history in frustrating Liverpool, with the Clarets picking up a 1-1 draw at Anfield last season – though Klopp’s side were already confirmed as champions by that point.
