Liverpool manager Slot let Oliver know exactly what he made of the referee's decision to allow James Tarkowski's late leveller in the Merseyside Derby in February.
The Dutchman was shown a red ard after the final whistle at Goodison Park, eventually receiving a two-match ban which he will complete against Southampton in his team's next league game.

Midfielder Curtis Jones served a one-match ban for a red card, as did Everton's Abdoulaye Doucoure, while Slot's assistant Sipke Hulshoff joined the boss in sitting out the Reds' last league game.
