Arne Slot banned for Newcastle United match at Anfield – Wednesday update | OneFootball

Arne Slot has been banned for the Newcastle United match tonight.

The Liverpool boss will not be allowed on the touchline at Anfield.

Wednesday morning seeing the announcement (see below) of a two match touchline ban by the FA.

This follows his red card at the end of the 2-2 draw at Goodison earlier this month.

Arne Slot also misses the Liverpool home match against Southampton.

He was dismissed for approaching referee Michael Oliver on the pitch after the 2-2 Premier League draw at Goodison Park on 12 February.

Slot will miss Wednesday’s home game with Newcastle and the visit of Southampton on 8 March.

He can be on the touchline for the Champions League last-16 first-leg tie with Paris St-Germain on 5 March.

Slot was also fined £70,000 after accepting the charge.

Liverpool assistant coach Sipke Hulshoff was banned for two games and fined £7,000, while Liverpool and Everton were fined £65,000 and £50,000 respectively for failing to control their players.

James Tarkowski’s 98th-minute equaliser sparked chaotic scenes, with Everton fans entering the field to celebrate.

Liverpool thought Tarkowski’s goal, which was checked by the video assistant referee (VAR), should have been ruled out for a push on defender Ibrahima Konate in the build-up.

Slot exchanged words with one of the assistant referees before shaking hands with Oliver, who immediately showed him a red card. Hulshoff was also sent off.
