Premier League referee David Coote was on Monday suspended after a video was posted on social media appearing to show him making derogatory remarks about former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

It is unclear when the video was made or how it circulated, but according to the clip, Coote stated that Klopp was "arrogant" and used offensive language.

Coote, 42, refereed Liverpool's 2-0 win against Aston Villa on Saturday.

Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) announced that David Coote has been suspended immediately, pending a complete investigation. PGMOL will not provide further comments until the investigation concludes.
