Liverpool boss Arne Slot has been handed a two-game touchline ban plus a £70,000 fine after his red card at the end of the Merseyside derby earlier this month.

The ban means he will be absent from the touchline for Liverpool's game with Newcastle on Wednesday night plus their next Premier League game at home to Southampton on March 8.

Liverpool were informed of the FA's decision on Tuesday.

Slot was seen shaking hands with referee Michael Oliver after the dramatic 2-2 draw at Everton, with the Dutchman saying something to the official before he was shown a red card.

Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones was also shown a red card post-match, after picking up a second yellow when he clashed with Everton's Abdoulaye Doucoure.

Everton and Liverpool have also been given £65,000 and £50,000 fines respectively after their players "did not behave in an improper and/or provocative way following the final whistle".
