Arne Slot Regrets Behavior Leading To Red Card At Merseyside Derby
Arne Slot has admitted he regrets his behaviour that saw him sent off after the final whistle of Wednesday\'s Merseyside derby, saying he would \"do it differently\" next time. The match ended with a dramatic equalizer from Everton\'s James Tarkowski in the 98th minute.
\"What happened was the extra time additional five times it ended up being eight, the emotions got the better of me,\" Slot told a news conference on Friday.
\"If I could do that differently, I am hoping to do it differently next time as well.\"
It is the first time that Slot has spoken about the incident. He was not able to give a postmatch news conference on Wednesday due to Premier League rules surrounding coaches\' suspensions.
\"Many things in extra time left me quite emotional,\" Slot added. \"There was a VAR incident for two minutes where I thought maybe it could be a foul and then it could be offside. Many things happened, but like I said it wouldn\'t be smart to go into every incident.\"
