Brighton and Liverpool played out a four-goal thriller at the Amex Stadium on Sunday in the Premier League.

I have to say, I cannot respect more, could not respect more, what he is doing.
"I think he was close to that and then I tried to calm him down. I am not sure if he needed it or not, you can ask him, but he probably told me something about the penalty, but I had no clue what he was talking about. I think he wanted a penalty. That was the situation... Brighton could have had a penalty? Then he was talking about that, but I couldn't say anything about it because I didn't remember.
