Arne Slot, Three Others Sent Off in Chaotic Merseyside Derby

The final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park ended in chaos, with Liverpool manager Arne Slot and three others sent off after a dramatic 2-2 draw against Everton. James Tarkowski's late equalizer sparked a melee as Everton's Abdoulaye Doucoure celebrated in front of Liverpool fans, inciting a confrontation with Liverpool's Curtis Jones. Referee Michael Oliver issued red cards to Jones and Doucoure for their altercation, and subsequently sent off Slot for an aggressive handshake. Slot's assistant, Sipke Hulshoff, also received a red card after expressing frustration over Tarkowski's goal, which he believed involved a foul. The multiple dismissals leave Liverpool without key figures for their upcoming match against Wolves, with assistant John Heitinga likely stepping in to lead the team. Both managers acknowledged the high emotions of the derby, with Slot's reaction being seen as a loss of composure in a heated moment.
