Liverpool news: Reds’ ‘frustration clear’ in Merseyside derby

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot prides himself on staying cool during matches – but even he could not maintain his calm in the hothouse that was Goodison Park on Wednesday night.

He was sent off, along with assistant Sipke Hulshoff, as were Everton’s Abdoulaye Doucoure and Liverpool midfield man Curtis Jones.

They were all involved in chaotic scenes after James Tarkowski’s equaliser, Liverpool’s rage and frustration clear after the goal was given.

When the dust settled, and there is an awful lot of dust to settle after an explosive night at the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, Slot and Liverpool can reflect on now being seven points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Would they have settled for that at the start of the season? You bet.
