* Liverpool drew 2-2 away at Sunderland in the Premier League on Monday
* Jurgen Klopp's side gave away two penalties as Sunderland fought back
* Klopp accepted that both of Sunderland's penalties were right to be given
Klopp goes to speak to referee Anthony Taylor after Liverpool's 2-2 drew against Sunderland.
But an irate Klopp said: 'It is tough for me to accept. If there is no free-kick, there is no handball. And there was no foul for the free-kick. I saw it again and there was no contact.
'It was also 100 per cent a foul on Daniel Sturridge (at the other end). It was a similar situation and we would have had a chance to shoot at somebody's arm. Obviously we didn't get that chance.'
Earlier, Taylor had given a penalty when Didier Ndong went down as he attempted to drive past Ragnar Klavan inside the area. Defoe slotted home to cancel out Daniel Sturridge's opener.
Daniel Sturridge put Liverpool ahead after 19 minutes at the Stadium of Light on Monday.
Klopp said: 'Ndong jumps in the box. It's a penalty because the referee decides it was. I must be honest, it doesn't feel good. Sunderland got a point because of two penalties.' David Moyes, meanwhile, hit back at Klopp after he had called Sunderland 'the most defensive team I've ever seen' when Liverpool won 2-0 at Anfield in November. 'I'm feeling we weren't too defensive today,' he said. 'I honestly thought the players raised the supporters by the way they got up to Liverpool, how they put them under pressure, how they pressed them. Maybe if I was a German manager you might praise that.'
