Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association for the manner of his celebration in the final moments of the Merseyside derby.
The London Evening Standard have confirmed the charge after Klopp ran on the pitch to celebrate with goalkeeper Alisson, who was stood in the centre of the Liverpool half.
Klopp was one of many to break into wild celebrations after a clanger from Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford gifted Divock Origi with a golden opportunity to secure a famous Anfield victory for the Reds.
The punishment will come as no surprise to Klopp, who would have been expecting it after running on the pitch before the final whistle.
Klopp is believed to have since apologised to Marco Silva for his actions.
The report provides a statement from the FA and it says:
Jurgen Klopp has been charged with misconduct relating to his behaviour in the 96th minute of the game between Liverpool and Everton yesterday [2 December 2018]. He has until 6pm on 6 December 2018 to respond to the charge.
