Liverpool manager Arne Slot said he would speak with Curtis Jones after he was sent off after the final whistle against Everton, but stopped short of criticising the midfielder by admitting he also made a mistake with his reaction following the Merseyside derby.
Slot suggested that he remains more upset with the amount of time played by referee Oliver rather than a shove on Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate from Everton forward Beto, which was also subject to a VAR review after James Tarkowski blasted a volley into the net to spark wild scenes at Goodison.
Slot was also sent off after the final whistle following an intense hand shake with referee Michael Oliver and addressed his red card and Merseyside derby “mayhem” for the first time on Friday morning.
Slot was also sent off after the final whistle for his reaction to Everton’s last-minute equaliser in the Merseyside derby.
Jones will be suspended for Sunday’s match against Wolves after receiving a second yellow card for his confrontation with Everton’s Abdoulaye Doucoure, who was also dismissed following the 2-2 draw at Goodison Park.
