James Milner scored from the penalty spot for Liverpool to secure a 1-0 win over Swansea on Sunday, but Reds manager Jurgen Klopp did not see it.
The German coach turned his back from the touchline and looked at the crowd instead (watch video below ).
Milner stepped up in the 62nd minute to score the winner.
Just like in Liverpool's 2-1 Europa League victory over Bordeuax last week, Klopp turned away from the goal when his side took a penalty. It was Milner who netted from the spot in that match too.

Klopp said after the game he was leased his side's momentum was not blown off course as his side ground out the 1-0 win over Swansea.
The German felt the football was affected by winds gusting up to 50mph but his side recorded their first Premier League home victory since he took over - and their first at Anfield since September 26 - thanks to James Milner's 62nd-minute penalty.
"The wind was crazy because it changed all the time. For both teams it was really difficult," said Klopp.

"In this time you cannot take this game and say 'This is how football should be'. Wind is the biggest enemy of football but we did okay.
"Players can usually play better passes but it is not easy.
"This wasn't our best performance but it was our best performance in a strong wind.
"It was good in many parts of the game. We played against an opponent who were very well organised.
"I think it was our best game in defensive organisation.
"We made the goal and defended really well. Simon Mignolet had not that much work. It was a big plus for the whole team.
"We were deserved winners. In this moment we have to fight in really difficult circumstances and that is what the boys did and everyone can be proud."
