Arne Slot in trouble! Liverpool boss set to be handed touchline ban after raging at referee during Fulham clash

<p>Slot did not hold back his frustration at referee Tony Harrington during <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-player-ratings-vs-fulham-diogo-jota-andy-robertson-trent-alexander-arnold/blt490ca5d2d7d062b8" target="_blank">Liverpool's match against Fulham at Anfield</a>. He was shown a yellow card in the 57th minute for his outburst following a Curtis Jones tackle which the Dutchman thought was excellent, however, the official disagreed, brandishing a card at the midfielder and then the manager and prompting boos from the Merseyside crowd.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The offence meant Slot was shown his third yellow card of the season, earning him a one-match touchline ban. He had previously been booked in Liverpool's Premier League matches against Chelsea and Arsenal, meaning a suspension is incoming and he will be forced from the touchline and into the stands.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The Liverpool boss spoke about his booking after the game. He told reporters: "There were a few moments when I could have been given a yellow card. It's an emotional game and we were a man down, it's frustrating. It's good to see our performance after so many setbacks. It's difficult to judge for me because I only see it in real-time like the referee. We have to accept what VAR sees. You know how important these decisions can be. We ended up with a draw and I don't think we can blame the referee for that."</p>

WHAT SLOT SAID

<p>In the aftermath of a crazy game against Fulham, Slot will likely need some time to calm down before planning ahead for Liverpool's next Premier League match against Tottenham. But with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-player-ratings-monaco-bukayo-saka-kai-havertz/bltc7dbf496efdf1fae" target="_blank">Arsenal also drawing on Saturday, he will feel less pressure when setting up his team for the trip to the capital</a>. In the meantime, Liverpool take on Southampton in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup in midweek.</p>
