Liverpool boss Arne Slot will serve a two-match touchline ban following his red card in Wednesday night's dramatic Merseyside derby.
The Dutch coach confronted Michael Oliver after the full-time whistle, with Slot sent off for "using offensive, insulting, or abusive language."
Slot was unhappy with the decision to allow James Tarkowski's 98th-minute equaliser, claiming Reds defender Ibrahima Konate had been pushed in the build-up to the goal.
He was seen berating the fourth official on the touchline before continuing his protests in front of Oliver after the final whistle.
As a result of his sending off, Slot wasn't able to conduct any of his usual post-match media duties, with the ex-Feyenoord manager now set for a two-match touchline ban.
In a statement explaining the decision, the Premier League said: "Liverpool head coach Arne Slot was dismissed at the end of the Merseyside derby for using offensive, insulting, or abusive language.
He is handed a two-match touchline ban as a result."
The usual punishment for managerial red cards is a one-match ban, but because Slot is alleged to have used offensive language, his penalty has been upped to two games.
It came amid a fiery end to the final-ever Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, with Slot receiving one of four red cards following the unsavoury scenes at full-time.
Alongside the Liverpool head coach, assistant manager Spike Hulshoff was also given his marching orders, while Curtis Jones and Abdoulaye Doucoure picked up second yellow cards for their role in a post-match melee.
It means both Slot and Hulshoff won't be eligible to take charge of Liverpool's weekend clash at home to Wolves, with former Everton ace John Heitinga expected to step up instead.
