Virgil van Dijk said he told referee Michael Oliver he didn’t have enough control of the bad-tempered Merseyside derby as he revealed he thought it was strange to see manager Arne Slot and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff sent off.
Oliver showed four red cards after the final whistle of a 2-2 draw with Liverpool substitute Curtis Jones and Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure both getting second yellow cards after their parts in a brawl before Slot and Hulshoff were also dismissed for their words to the official.
