Manchester United great Roy Keane rarely came off second best in a tackle but the outspoken TV pundit was forced to backtrack after Jurgen Klopp took him to task for labelling Liverpool "sloppy" following Monday's 3-1 win over Arsenal.
Klopp jumped on Keane's observation after his team's victory, which maintained the champion's 100% record after three games.
Former United and Republic of Ireland captain Keane did not address the question directly.
Klopp, who won the Champions League with Liverpool in 2019 and their first Premier League title last season, pressed on.
Klopp described his team's performance against in-form Arsenal as "exceptional".
Keane, unusually for him, sought to calm the situation.
Keane, though, had the last laugh after the Liverpool boss had left the interview.
