Dejan Lovren has accused Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku of deliberately kicking him in the head during Saturday's goalless draw at Anfield.

At a press conference in Maribor to preview tomorrow's Champions League clash Liverpool defender Lovren was asked to clear up what exactly he believed had gone on in the incident where Lukaku tangled with the Croatian defender.

He said: "I made a tackle there. I just felt he was over me and I he could just have moved away. My honest view is that he did it on purpose. Even if he did it normally you would apologise after that but I saw that he was nervous during the game so that is also the reason.

"But it happened on the pitch, I can't change it and nobody can change it . We need to move on."

Asked if he was disappointed that the Premier League had decided against taking retrsopective action against the United centre-forward, Lovren added: "It is not my decision., I cannot say I am disapppointed it is what it is and we need to move on. That's football. It's part of the game."
