David Moyes says that he feels for Arne Slot after the Liverpool boss was sent off following Wednesday’s draw with Everton in the Premier League.
The Dutchman was shown a red card following his confrontation with referee Michael Oliver on the Goodison Park pitch after James Tarkowski scored a dramatic 98th-minute equaliser.
The FA are reviewing Oliver’s match report and may sanction Slot based on its contents. The 46-year-old could face no further action, be reminded of his responsibilities, or be charged, which would likely result in a touchline ban.
Slot admitted that he “made the wrong decision”, but Moyes defended his Liverpool counterpart, confessing “I’ve had plenty of moments I’m not proud of”.
David Moyes empathises with Arne Slot over Liverpool fracas
“I feel a bit for Arne Slot as when I was a younger manager I was always getting involved with heated things,” the Scot said in his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday’s trip to Crystal Palace.
“That tells me he’s fighting for his club and his players – everybody has to do what they have to do.
“When you get older you stand back and think what was I doing there?
“I’ve had plenty of moments I’m not proud of but sometimes you have to fight your own corner.”
