Leaders Liverpool missed out on the chance to move nine points clear of Arsenal in the Premier League but Slot said he took pride in how his side stood up to the test of facing Everton in the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park to extend their lead over the Gunners in the title race.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot admitted the emotions of the Merseyside derby got the better of him but would not go into details of his red card against Everton on Wednesday night.

Slot said he was angry at Everton scoring an equaliser after the allocated added time, with the Premier League leaders conceding a 97th minute equaliser in the 2-2 draw.
Slot was sent off by referee Michael Oliver after the final whistle following an intense hand shake, with the Liverpool manager furious at James Tarkowski’s equaliser coming after the 97th minute.
