Everton boss David Moyes has sympathy for Liverpool counterpart Arne Slot after his red card at the end of Wednesday night’s final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
There was more late drama as Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure and Liverpool’s Curtis Jones were also sent off for an altercation which sparked a mass brawl.
Slot is facing a possible touchline ban after he was sent off by referee Michael Oliver after the full-time whistle, having just seen James Tarkowski score an injury-time equaliser to earn the hosts a 2-2 draw.
Moyes said: “I feel a bit for Arne Slot because this is the thing when I was a younger manager, I was always getting involved in heated things.
Moyes said of his midfielder: ““He’s fine, I said after the game and I remain the same, I was disappointed that he got himself sent off.
