Slot charged by FA over Wednesday's Derby clashes

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot and assistant Sipke Hulshoff have both been charged with being abusive to match officials in Wednesday's Merseyside derby against Everton at Goodison Park.

Both clubs have also been charged with their players and/or technical area occupants behaving in an improper and/or provocative way following the final whistle after a scuffle broke out which led to Curtis Jones and Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure being sent off.

Slot approached referee Michael Oliver on the pitch at the final whistle and was shown a red card, with Hulshoff also subsequently dismissed.

According to the Football Association, the Liverpool head coach 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.

It is also alleged Hulshoff acted in an improper manner and/or used insulting and/or abusive words and/or behaviour towards a match official, while it is further alleged he acted in an improper manner and/or used insulting and/or abusive words and/or behaviour towards a match official after being sent off.

The pair and both clubs have until Wednesday to provide their respective responses, which means Slot will be able to sit in the dugout for Sunday's visit of Wolves.
