After the game, Toffees manager Sam Allardyce said that the matter would have to be assessed by the FA.
“I am telling you nothing until whatever systems are used to find out what happened or did not happen. I am here to talk about football and anything outside that needs to be dealt with by the authorities. That is for other areas of the football club. I have left that with the director of football.”
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp claimed he was unaware of the allegation against Firmino. He initially thought the confrontation was sparked by the shove from Holgate.
“I don’t really know anything about it. I misjudged it completely because I thought it was about a Holgate foul. I thought they wanted to investigate the Holgate foul.”
