Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been charged with misconduct by the FA for his celebration after Divock Origi's late goal in Sunday's Merseyside derby.

Klopp has until 6pm on Thursday December 6 to respond to the charge.

Origi's 96th minute winner against Everton led to some incredible scenes at Anfield, as Reds boss Klopp sprinted onto the pitch to celebrate with Reds goalkeeper Alisson.

He avoided punishment during the game but has now been charged with misconduct. If Klopp accepts the charge then he is likely to be fined and receive a warning as to his future conduct.

The German apologised for his actions in interviews with the media after the game and said he had repeated those sentiments to Everton boss Marco Silva at full-time.

However, in his post-match press conference, Silva claimed that Klopp had not apologised to him but admitted that he hadn't seen the incident where the Liverpool boss sprinted onto the pitch.

Klopp's emotional reaction came as Origi's goal secured another vital three points for Liverpool, who remain within two points of league leaders Manchester City after the victory.

It had been a frustrating afternoon for the Reds before their late winner, with Everton holding firm and creating some of the games best chances.
