After the red card: "I let my emotions get the better of me"

The Liverpool coach Arne Slot received a red card after the 2-2 match against Everton for using "inappropriate language" towards the referee. Something he later regrets. I let my emotions get the better of me, he says to reporters on Friday.

It was after Everton equalized in the eighth added minute in Wednesday's Premier League meeting, and Abdoulaye Doucouré celebrated in front of Liverpool supporters, that players from both teams clashed.

Shortly afterwards, Arne Slot approached the main referee Michael Oliver and quickly received the red card.

I let my emotions get the better of me. When I look back on it, I wish I had handled it differently. I hope to do it differently next time, says Slot.

The Premier League announced on Thursday that the coach is banned for two matches – information that was later withdrawn. It remains to be seen if Liverpool, who lead the Premier League, will have to take on Wolverhampton and Aston Villa without Slot.
