Liverpool manager Arne Slot has been handed a two-match touchline ban following his red card as tensions flared at the end of a fiery 2-2 draw with Everton.
Liverpool were on course to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to nine points against their city rivals on Wednesday but James Tarkowski struck a stunning volley to level in the eighth minute of stoppage time.
Abdoulaye Doucoure's wild celebrations in front of the away fans sparked a furious reaction, with Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones confronting Doucoure, leading to the dismissal of both men.
With supporters breaking onto the pitch, stewards and police became involved before Slot and assistant Sipke Hulshoff were also sent off by referee Michael Oliver.
"Liverpool head coach Arne Slot was dismissed at the end of the Merseyside derby for using offensive, insulting, or abusive language," the Premier League said in a statement
"He is handed a two-match touchline ban as a result."
The matches affected are Sunday's game against struggling Wolves at home and Liverpool's trip to Aston Villa on 19 February.
Doucoure and Jones will both serve one-match bans.
Wednesday's draw in the final derby at Goodison Park, ahead of Everton's move to a new ground, left Liverpool seven points clear of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League with 14 games remaining.
