'I should set a better example' - Arne Slot makes candid admission on X-rated rant at Michael Oliver that earned Liverpool boss two-match ban

Premier League

Liverpool

Everton

<p>The <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arne-slot-liverpool-everton-hit-with-fa-charges-after-feisty-ending-merseyside-derby/blt49e680e806b3359a" target="_blank">Liverpool boss was sent off</a> after he confronted Oliver following his side's 2-2 draw with Everton last month, with the Dutchman later <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arne-slot-suspended-liverpool-boss-slapped-two-match-touchline-ban-premier-league-confirm-reason-red-card-merseyside-derby/blt71b6aa4e08e8fffa" target="_blank">handed a two-match ban</a> and fined £70,000 for his actions. After it emerged that Slot allegedly told the official, “<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-boss-arne-slot-expletive-laden-rant-at-michael-oliver-merseyside-derby-officials/blt9651ef368b26a8e3#cs41f59772fb5847d9" target="_blank">If we don’t win the league, I’ll f**** blame you</a>," the ex-Feyenoord manager has appeared to show remorse for his behaviour.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He told <a href="https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-psg-press-conference-live-31126800" target="_blank">reporters</a>: "What I said also in the written report and can say it one more time, the moment it happened I was quite emotional for everything that happened in the last eight minutes. I chose to go on pitch instead of staying calm and talking to Michael inside. Now I don't have the same emotions anymore and should set a better example then and don't go into the situation again. It's clear what I've written and Michael has written. Michael has been in the news quite a lot recently so it won't help if I go into it now."</p>

WHAT ARNE SLOT SAID

<p>At a time when referee abuse - by players, managers, and fans - is almost woven into the fabric of football, it is important that punishments are handed out for those who cross the line. Ultimately, it looks like Liverpool won't let the Premier League title slip as they are 13 points clear of second-placed Arsenal.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Slot will hope to avoid another touchline ban and fine when his Liverpool side take on Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday.</p>
