Arne Slot and Liverpool assistant handed two-game bans for derby red cards

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff have both been handed two-match touchline bans after being sent off in the angry aftermath of the 2-2 draw at Everton earlier this month.

James Tarkowski's equaliser deep into stoppage time at the end of the last Merseyside derby to be played at Goodison Park provoked chaotic scenes, with both Slot and Hulshoff sent off by Michael Oliver along with Liverpool's Curtis Jones and Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure.

An independent regulatory commission has now hit Slot and Hulshoff with touchline bans after they admitted charges of using an improper manner and/or using insulting and/or abusive words and/or behaviour towards both the match officials, with Slot to pay a fine of £70,000 and Hulshoff £7,000.

Additionally Everton have been fined £65,000 and Liverpool £50,000 for failing to ensure their players and/or staff did not behave in an improper way.
