The scuffle that followed the end of the previous Merseyside Derby and Arne Slot’s post-game dismissal meant that the Dutch tactician was in for a suspension. The only question was how long he’d be absent, and today we got the response, as the FA announced that the 46-year-old was punished with a two-match ban.🚨 Arne Slot has been given a two-game touchline ban following his red card against Everton. pic.twitter.com/rLz0FASuII— BBC Sport (@BBCSport) February 26, 2025 As the FA announced on its official website, “it was alleged that the Liverpool head coach acted in an improper manner and/or used insulting and/or abusive words and/or behaviour towards both the match referee and an assistant referee after the match had finished. Arne Slot admitted the charge, and the Regulatory Commission imposed a two-match touchline suspension and £70,000 fine.” Best individual PL season ever?Apart from the Reds’ head coach, his assistant Sipke Hulshoff got the suspension for the same duration (for pretty much the same reasons) but will have to splash out a ten times smaller amount. Additionally, the Regulatory Comission fined both Everton and Liverpool £65,000 and £50,000, respectively.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 27TuesdayBrighton – Bournemouth 2-1 (1-0)/Pedro 12 pen, Welbeck 75 – Kluivert 61/Crystal Palace – Aston Villa 4-1 (1-0)/Sarr 29, 71, Mateta 59, Nketiah 90+1 – Rogers 52/Wolverhampton – Fulham 1-2 (1-1)/Gomes 18 – Sessegnon 1, Muniz 47/Chelsea – Southampton 4-0 (3-0)/Nkunku 24, Neto 36, Colwill 44, Cucurella 78/Wednesday 22.30: (2.10) Brentford (3.50) Everton (3.80)22.30: (1.52) Man.Utd.
