Liverpool legend Graeme Souness summed it up best in the Sky studio.

“Emotion does strange things to you,” he said.

Of course Jurgen Klopp shouldn't have sprinted on to the pitch after Divock Origi's Merseyside derby late show had sparked scenes of wild delirium at Anfield.

But the reaction in some quarters to the manager's manic celebration has been nothing short of ridiculous.

“I think it's absolutely shocking what Jurgen Klopp does,” bleated BBC pundit and former Manchester City defender Danny Mills.

“Okay, go down the touchline a little bit, come out of your technical area, celebrate with your staff on the bench - I don't have a problem with that at all. But to run into the middle of the pitch, I think it's disrespectful to Everton.”

Give it a rest.

What Klopp did wasn't premeditated and it certainly wasn't inciting anything.

It was simply an outpouring of joy . It was raw. Liverpool were seconds away from a draw which would have felt like a defeat when Jordan Pickford kindly put one on a plate for Origi.

A frustrating setback in the Premier League title race had been instantly transformed into a thrilling triumph.

Emotions run high on derby day and it doesn't get any bigger or better than bagging a 96th minute winner against your neighbours.

Klopp, who always wears his heart on his sleeve, just wanted to share the moment with his players.

He ended up in the arms of goalkeeper Alisson Becker close to the centre circle before realising where his legs had taken him and quickly darting back to the touchline throwing a flurry of fist pumps.

Rival fans and pundits like Mills will take the moral high ground but the reality is that if that was their club, their manager, they would have absolutely loved it.

Absolutely shocking is getting sent off seven times in your career like Mills – from recklessly kicking out at Craig Bellamy to uttering obscenities at match officials.

Absolutely shocking is admitting that you purposely stayed down in order to get Ronaldinho sent off in the 2002 World Cup quarter-final like Mills did.

A manager running on the pitch to hug his keeper isn't absolutely shocking.

People moan about how sterile and robotic modern football is at times and then stick the boot when they see passion on Sunday's scale.

At the final whistle Klopp went straight to Marco Silva to apologise for his exuberance.

“It shouldn't happen but it happened,” he said. “If I could describe it, probably I could control it.”

To his credit Silva handled it with class. “If we scored that goal and had been so lucky I might have done the same. I didn't see any disrespect,” the Blues boss said.

The Football Association have charged Klopp with misconduct and he's likely to be hit with a hefty fine.

There is no consistency. Pep Guardiola escaped punishment for doing something similar when Raheem Sterling scored a late winner for City against Southampton last November. At the time he was simply told by referee Paul Tierney to calm down and no further action was taken.

Whatever Klopp's fine is, it will be worth every penny after pocketing a cherished victory.

That footage will be part of the Klopp highlights reel forever more. His manic reaction has only served to strengthen his bond with supporters - that goal meant to him what it meant to every single Kopite.

Emotion really does do strange things to you.
