Fans mock Arne Slot after footage emerges of Liverpool boss' reaction to Everton's dramatic late equaliser in the Merseyside derby

Arne Slot's reaction to Liverpool's last-minute concession against Everton has provided ample amusement for rival fans. In footage of the Dutchman from the moment James Tarkowski denied his side a crucial win in their quest to win the Premier League, Slot can be seen frantically motioning to the fourth official and thrashing his hands in anguish before turning to the visiting bench in disgust. The Reds boss, known for his calm demeanour when compared to predecessor Jurgen Klopp, had grown increasingly irate at the officiating during the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.

Liverpool believed that defender Ibrahima Konate had been fouled in the lead up to Tarkowski's 98th-minute volley that secured a 2-2 draw for the Toffees. Rivals fans have taken glee in the Reds boss' outburst, with one noting on X: 'Peak head loss.' Followed by four crying emojis. Another posted an image of Everton boss David Moyes with the caption: 'Absolute cinema.' A third said: 'It's funny if you let it replay continuously.'.

Slot was shown a red card after his exchange with referee Michael Oliver after the final whistle. Slot's fury ultimately saw him red-carded by referee Michael Oliver following a heated exchange after order resumed following a mass brawl after the final whistle.

Curtis Jones reacted angrily to Abdoulaye Doucoure's celebration in front of the away fans at the end of the clash. Hands were raised during a feisty scuffle that drew the attention of both sets of players, police and stewards. Oliver showed both players, already on yellow cards, their second bookings. Moments later, the official also dismissed Slot. Outrage over the awarding of Everton's equaliser, despite a lengthy VAR reviews, also appeared to lead to Liverpool assistant Sipke Hulshoff receiving his marching orders.

The Dutchman could be seen pointing to where the incident took place before he was dismissed. Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk said post match: 'You saw they celebrated the goal, they have every right to. Doucoure wanted to provoke our fans. Curtis didn't think it was the right thing to do. The referee didn't have the game under control. I said it to him. ‘It was a very big provocation from one player. We all saw it and reacted as a team as we were able to do. You know what happens nowadays, it becomes one big tussle. Then it is not me who has to deal with it, it is the referee and today I am not sure he had it fully under control.’.

The league leaders looked set to go further clear of the chasing pack after Mohamed Salah netted his 22nd Premier League goal of the campaign in the 73rd minute. The Egyptian also added to his league-leading assist numbers, providing the cross for Alexis Mac Allister's pinpoint header after Beto had opened the scoring for David Moyes' men. But it proved to be a fitting end for the Toffees, who would have the last word in their final match against their rivals at Goodison before their move to Bramley Moore Dock next term. Liverpool, meanwhile, moved seven points ahead of Arsenal in second place with 14 Premier League matches to play.
