LIVERPOOL: Arne Slot admitted "emotions got the better of me" after he was shown a red card following Liverpool's fiery 2-2 Premier League draw against neighbours Everton in midweek.

Liverpool were on course to extend their lead at the top of the table to nine points at Goodison Park on Wednesday but James Tarkowski struck a stunning volley to level in the eighth minute of stoppage time.

Abdoulaye Doucoure's wild celebrations in front of the away fans sparked a furious reaction, with Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones confronting Doucoure, leading to the dismissal of both men.

With some supporters on the pitch, stewards and police became involved before Liverpool boss Slot and assistant Sipke Hulshoff were also sent off by referee Michael Oliver.

Slot, whose team host struggling Wolves on Sunday, is now waiting for the Football Association to review Oliver's match report before he finds out what, if any, sanction he will face.

He could face no further action, be reminded of his responsibilities, or be charged, which would likely result in a touchline ban.

The Dutchman told reporters on Friday there were "many things in extra (stoppage) time that led to me being quite emotional" but was unwilling to go into details about the incident.

"I think what happened was that the extra time, the intentional five minutes that ended up being eight... and the emotions got the better of me," said.
