Liverpool’s boss Arne Slot will have to watch the next two Premier League games from the booth after giving him a ban on football line.
The reception faced referee Michael Oliver at the end of Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Everton on February 12 and then a red card was presented. The reception was furious that James Tarkowski’s latest Gasp equator had been allowed to stand and talk to the employee on the pitch and shake his hand in an aggressive way.
The Dutchman will not be in the contact line for the Premier League clash with Newcastle at Anfield or home game with Southampton on March 8. From 16, the first leg on March 5, as the sanction only applies to domestic games.
An independent Committee of Regulatory Arrangements has been ratified in Everton, Liverpool, Arne Slot and Sipke Hulshoff in relation to the Premier League Appendix between the clubs on Wednesday, February 12th.

What did the FA say about the Arne reception
FA’s statement made: “It was argued that the Liverpool coach acted in an inappropriate manner and/or used offensive and/or abusive words and/or behavior towards the referee and an assistant referee after the match was completed. Arne Slot acknowledged the charge and the regulatory committee imposed a two -match touch and a fine of £ 70,000. “
Slot Sipke Hulshoff’s assistant has also been fined and a two -match ban has been delivered.
“It was argued that Liverpool’s lead coach acted inappropriately and/or using offensive and/or abusive words and/or behavior towards a race employee, which led to his dismissal,” the statement continued. “It was further argued that he acted in an inappropriate manner and/or used offensive and/or abusive words and/or behavior towards a race employee after their mission. ”
Liverpool and Everton were also ratified
There was a meeting among the players following Tarkowski’s goal with Everton Abdoulaye Doucoure’s Middle Abdoulaye Doucoure who passed Liverpool fans at Goodison Park. The average Reds Curtis Jones received the exception of Doucoure’s actions and the couple pulled before the others came in.
This has led to both the clubs that received fines with the size of the sanctions that show that most of the responsibility was with the Tofffees.
FA said: “It was argued that both clubs failed to ensure that their players and/or passengers of the technical area do not behave in an inappropriate and/or provocative way after the final whistle. Regulatory committee imposed fines of £ 65,000 and £ 50,000 on them after listening. “
Slot’s first domestic game at Touchline will be the final of the Wembley Championship on March 16, also against Newcastle.
And he will watch his team again close to the Premier League, when Everton visits Anfield for what should be a spicy reverse on April 2.
