Liverpool manager Arne Slot has been banned for two games after being sent off at the end of the Merseyside derby.
Amid chaotic scenes at the end of Liverpool’s 2-2 draw at Everton, Slot confronted referee Michael Oliver and could be seen saying a few words before exchanging an aggressive handshake. Oliver immediately produced a red card, having also sent off Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, Everton’s Abdoulaye Doucoure and Slot’s assistant Sipke Hulshoff in the fallout after the final whistle.
The Football Association explained in a statement: “It was alleged that the Liverpool head coach acted in an improper manner and/or used insulting and/or abusive words and/or behaviour towards both the match referee and an assistant referee after the match had finished. Arne Slot admitted the charge, and the Regulatory Commission imposed a two-match touchline suspension and £70,000 fine.”
