Slot Contrite After Everton Row; To Face FA Charge

LONDON - Liverpool manager Arne Slot has been charged with being abusive to match officials during his team's stormy Merseyside derby at rivals Everton on Feb 12.

The Dutchman was shown a red card after approaching referee Michael Oliver in a heated scene on the pitch at the final whistle of the 2-2 Premier League draw.

Liverpool were furious that James Tarkowski's stoppage-time equaliser was not disallowed because of an alleged push by Toffees striker Beto on Reds defender Ibrahima Konate.

Slot's assistant Sipke Hulshoff was also dismissed during the row with Oliver in the last Merseyside derby at Goodison Park before Everton move to a new stadium next season.

According to the Football Association, Slot allegedly 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".
