'I am over it' - Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp refuses to be drawn on more VAR controversy after Brighton draw

Gross conceded a penalty in the 2-2 draw against Liverpool when he brought down Szoboszlai, but the midfielder avoided a yellow card.

There were calls for Gross to be sent off for denying a goalscoring opportunity, but VAR did not intervene to suggest he be dismissed.

The debatable call comes a week after Liverpool were the victims of an incredible VAR mix-up that saw a Luis Diaz goal incorrectly chalked off for offside. Refereeing body PGMOL subsequently released the audio recordings of the conversation that occurred surrounding that decision and the incident has sparked a change in protocol for how such decisions are made and confirmed.

Despite the incident against Brighton, Klopp refused to hit out at the system for the second week in a row.

"I saw it was a penalty and didn't think about red, but I heard now it is about goalscoring opportunity," he said at a press conference. "If it is a goalscoring opportunity, we can ask the question here: what do you think, was it a goalscoring opportunity? Hands up. I didn't see it back... we have a few hands up, by the way! But what can I say about that? I am over it, I am too old for these kind of things. We will not change it anymore."

Liverpool return to Premier League action on October 21 with a home match against Everton.
