But the 46-year-old has found a surprising ally in Everton boss David Moyes, who was in the opposite dugout, after the Scot gave his long-awaited verdict on the events that transpired.
Speaking ahead of their weekend fixture against Crystal Palace, Moyes sympathised with his managerial counterpart and insisted Slot’s actions reflected his passion for Liverpool more than anything else.
“It was an emotional night for everbody and I feel a bit for Arne Slot,” the Scot said. “Because this sort of thing, when I was a younger manager, I was always getting involved in heated things.
“Also, it tells me he cares a little bit about his club and he’s fighting for his players, so everybody has to do what they do. He’s doing that for his team.”
