Liverpool manager Arne Slot has been given a two-match touchline ban by the Premier League after receiving a red card during a match against Everton.
A fight erupted between the two teams after the game at Goodison Park, where James Tarkowski scored a late goal to equalize for the hosts.
Abdoulaye Doucoure and Curtis Jones were also shown red cards along with Slot and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff in the scuffle.
Slot’s post-match interview was cancelled as a consequence of the incident. The Dutch manager now faces consequences from the Premier League for his behavior.
A statement read: “Liverpool head coach Arne Slot was dismissed at the end of the Merseyside derby for using offensive, insulting, or abusive language.
“He is handed a two-match touchline ban as a result.”
The result means that Slot’s men now lead the Premier League table by seven points from nearest challengers Arsenal.
