Liverpool in turmoil: referee ensures derby chaos and red cards!

Goodison Park, Liverpool, United Kingdom - After an exciting 2-2 draw in the Merseyside derby against Everton, the emotions are high at Liverpool. Referee Michael Oliver is exposed to a massive storm of indignation, in particular by captain Virgil van Dijk, who expressed sharp criticism of the game management and claimed: "He did not have the game under control." The referee showed a total of four red cards, including one on Liverpool's coach Arne Slot, which further increased the unrest after the game. Despite the initial reports on a two -playing lock for slot due to "insulting language", this information was immediately withdrawn, which leads to uncertainties about the exact duration of his absence, as OE24.at reported.

The Situation escalated immediately after the final whistle when there was a dispute between the players of both teams. The trigger was a provocative gesture from Abdoulaye Doucore, which subsequently led to a push between Doucore and Curtis Jones. The police and security forces had to intervene to prevent possible storming of Everton fans. This will bring additional challenges for Liverpool in the coming week, as they have to miss both Jones and slot in the upcoming home game against Wolverhampton, Liverpool.com explained

shocking insights and heated debates

Interestingly, a professional lip reader was able to report on the conversations on the field. Van Dijk is said to have approached Oliver immediately after the game: "It wasn't a foul, it is nothing personal." These statements illustrate the heated atmosphere that prevailed during the game. Van Dijk acted as a arbitrator when he tried to prevent his trainer from dealing with the referee. Despite these turbulence, Liverpool remains at the head of the Premier League with a seven point lead, even if they were difficult to handle the tie.
