Merseyside Derby Chaos: Jones, Doucoure & Slot Sent Off After Heated 2-2 Draw
The Merseyside derby at Goodison Park ended in wild fashion as Everton and Liverpool played out a dramatic 2-2 draw. However, the biggest talking points came after the final whistle, when Curtis Jones, Abdoulaye Doucoure, and Liverpool manager Arne Slot were all sent off in chaotic scenes.

Beto opened the scoring for Everton in the 11th minute, but Liverpool responded quickly with an Alexis Mac Allister header just five minutes later.
Mohamed Salah struck in the 73rd minute, putting Liverpool ahead and seemingly on course for a win.
James Tarkowski delivered late drama with a stunning stoppage-time volley to secure a 2-2 draw for Everton.
Post-Match Chaos: Red Cards Galore
As soon as the final whistle blew, tempers flared:
Doucoure ran toward Liverpool fans to celebrate, sparking a furious reaction from Curtis Jones, who chased him down. A scuffle broke out, leading to both players receiving red cards.
Arne Slot was then sent off for an unusual reason—referee Michael Oliver took offense to Slot holding onto his hand for too long during an argument.
