Klopp responded by sprinting onto the pitch to hug goalkeeper Alisson, before running and fist-pumping back to his dugout to celebrate with his backroom staff.Everton manager Marco Silva was not impressed and Klopp apologised for his actions following the full-time whistle, saying he ‘couldn’t stop’ himself.His celebrations sparked debate on Monday, with many hailing the managers passion on the touchline, while others branded Klopps celebration as disrespectful and worthy of a touchline ban.The Liverpool boss was hit with an FA charge of misconduct on Monday, but Rodgers echoed Pep Guardiola’s view that every manager has been in the same position – especially in emotionally charged games like the Merseyside and Old Firm derbies.Speaking on Tuesdays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, the Celtic boss said: We all have our moments.Im very focused in the game and sometimes especially in those moments when you score, because thats a period when you can be vulnerable straight after.But Ive had those moments, I know when weve scored at Ibrox Ive run up the touchline.Brendan Rodgers has defended Jurgen Klopp over his celebration against Everton2

Something just takes over you emotionally, and you can pretend you wont do it, but its just something that just comes across you when it means so much.Ive been involved in that Liverpool v Everton game and its a hugely emotional game, especially at Anfield.So for Liverpool to get the late goal how they did, it was just a rush of emotion.I think for Jurgen, bless him, if there were two pitches he would have probably ran right across them all!Listen back to Brendan Rodgers on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast IN FULL above!
