Emotions got better of me - Slot on derby red card

Arne Slot discusses post Everton match red card Arne Slot discusses post Everton match red card

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot admitted that "emotions got the better of me" after being sent off in Wednesday's Merseyside derby against Everton.

Slot, 46, received a red card for confronting referee Michael Oliver following Everton’s dramatic 98th-minute equalizer in the 2-2 draw.

Liverpool disputed the late goal, believing James Tarkowski fouled Ibrahima Konaté, and questioned the extended stoppage time.

Slot, who was unable to speak post-match due to his dismissal, acknowledged he should have reacted differently.

As of now, he remains eligible to manage Liverpool against Wolves while the FA reviews the incident.

A reported two-match ban was briefly posted on the Premier League website but later retracted due to an error.

Liverpool lead the Premier League by seven points with 14 games remaining.
