Jurgen Klopp has apologised to Chris Hughton after angering the Brighton boss following Liverpool's 5-1 win on Saturday.

Hughton was fuming that Klopp didn't shake his hand immediately after the final whistle as he embraced Mohamed Salah instead, but the Reds manager insists he didn't mean to cause offence.

"It was just a misunderstanding, nothing else," Klopp said.

"I have to apologise, not that I did something wrong on purpose, it just happened.

"I wanted to go to Chris and shake his hand and then Mo Salah passed my way. I gave him a hug and Chris wasn’t too happy about that.

"We shook hands and then he said what he thought and I said what I thought. He said I needed to shake the hand of the manager first.

"But it wasn't on purpose. After the game I spoke to his assistant. I think and hope that everything is fine.

"For sure, one or two times in my life I've been disrespectful, but I would never be in a moment like this. It would make absolutely no sense. I can only say apologies as that was not my intention."
