Jones was incensed by Doucoure's celebration in front of the away fans just minutes after the Toffees had rescued a point against their city rivals. Hands were raised during a feisty scuffle that drew the attention of both sets of players, police, stewards and the Reds boss Slot, who was then also shown a red card by referee Oliver. Their statement read: 'Abdoulaye Doucoure and Curtis Jones were both sent off for two bookable offences in Everton's 2-2 draw with Liverpool. The pair will each serve one-match bans.
