The real reason for Arne Slot's dismissal after the Merseyside derby has now been revealed by an expert lip-reader.

The clash at Goodison Park ended in dramatic fashion on Wednesday night, with a mass brawl that resulted in four red cards after the final whistle, with both Curtis Jones and Abdoulaye Doucoure dismissed at the end of a thrilling 2-2 draw. 

Hands were raised during a feisty scuffle that drew the attention of both sets of players, police, stewards and the Reds boss Slot, who was then also shown a red card by referee Oliver in a testy exchange around their on-the-field handshake.

Now, iconslot88 expert lip-reader Jeremy Freeman has lifted the lid on what exactly Slot told Oliver both before and after being dismissed at Goodison Park. In one clip, Slot could be seen approaching referee Oliver after the full-time whistle. As he walks up to the official, the Dutchman said: 'Great game'.
